Yes, we've learned if enough people use a word, that word becomes acceptable. Do I need to explain to my children it is now all right to say irregardless?

Speaking of which: "While someones social/economical status may make it harder, everyone irregardless of race has the same chances."

Default ...and the winner...

...in the competition for World's Longest Run-on Sentence is...

we moved out to a new apartment 2 months ago from the first day we came here they complained about the noise although we didn't do anything we said sorry and that we'll try to be more quieter than that but they keep complaining everyday about everything , sometimes things slip from my mom's hand like a bottle of water and it's not even at night it would be about 4 pm but as soon as they hear any voice we find the security at our door saying that people downstairs are complaining about the noise we don't know what to do we even walk slowly so that they won't complain but the keep complaining yesterday i and my sibling were doing our homework and we were talking and we laughed and it wasn't even loud but they sent us someone saying that our downstairs neighbor are complaining about the noise today morning we talked to the manger and she said that we need to move out to a first floor apartment but my dad have some problems in his health that prevents him from staying somewhere that is hot or have less oxygen and the manger said that this is our only solution and that there was a third party who confirmed that we are making a lot of noise ,we really do nothing we all sleep early and we wake up early to go out as i have school and my sibling have college and there would be no one home and we all come back late , i also have a friend that lives in the same building the first day she came here her neighbors complained about a very loud music and tv while at that time she didn't even had a tv or a radio can anyone please help me i don't know what should i do ?

Without even focusing on the other grammatical issues, I have to wonder if the school that this person attends ever provided lessons on the use of capital letters, periods, and paragraph breaks.

I'm baffled by this comment that was posted on facebook. It's a story about satanists holding a black mass in Oklahoma.

"Spc I don't know what's worse gay men leaving there condoms everywhere after a party or this?"

Is this person trying to decide which gala event he wishes to attend? "Gee, I'm not sure which one will be worse. With the black mass, I have to sacrifice myself to Satan. But the party is going to be so doggone... sticky. What to do? What to DO?"

Oh no! I've been listening this past week to a traffic engineer with a Spanish accent talk about a certain roadway configuration. There will be beagles going to the east, beagles going to the west, and then beagles backing up to the Grand Central Parkway because of a bad decision point situation.

I'm an author, and have worked as an editor.

My #1 all time favorite: An essay (printed in a local paper) talked about "racial epitaphs."

I guess that would be a tombstone that says, "Here lies a dead (fill in the blank)."
