Booya! New Poll
Just got this new poll thing I stole from my buddy at http://encyclical.blogspot.com. Now I don't have to put up with annoying anon comments from dumb ass numb nuts who aren't worthy of a response from yours truly. If you have something to say? select one of the options to your right. If you don't like the options I gave you and find them to be irrelevant to your complaint? Go eat a dick!I'm El Chupacabras bitches! As the worlds most beloved mythical creature I do whatever the hell I want! In your face pissy pants!

Your blog drives me nuts....the spelling! The grammar! Or lack Thereof. Some tips:
1. Irregardless is NOT a word. It's regardless. Regardless of the context.
2. Your poll: Reknown? Renown is the correct word and spelling.
More lessons to follow.
Yours Truly,
Anon

regardless.
[Origin: 1910–15; ir-2 (prob. after irrespective) + regardless]
—Usage note Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.
you are correct about renown though.
No way Kristin, one should never use that term!
