Um, that's like literally gate keeping, irregardless of what you think. Language is malleable.



> irregardless

> Language is malleable.

Assuming that wasn't an intentional joke:

Yes, language is malleable, and changes all the time. But I do not have an indifferent attitude towards it. I would like for languages to at least adhere to basic logic where they can. So I don't support stupid words or statements like "irregardless" or "I could care less". So I oppose them where I can.

If you are going to change a language, then improve it, don't degrade it.


I think irregardless is a joke 99% of the time


What's wrong with gate keeping? Gates are useful things. Surely you agree that some writing is better than other writing? It's not all equally good.
