"irregardless"

A higher-up at the college I worked for loved that word. Didn't help that I couldn't stand her regardless of whether or not she was speaking real words...

Disirregardless of the cardinality of female deer observed, it is always doe. That is what was taught to us in grammar school in Pennsyltucky. No one is going to change my mind on this.

Use of disirregardless is satirical and I think that ole nutter will appreciate my malapropism use here.

For any other unenlightened, here’s UD definition.

Urban Dictionary: disirregardless

A word used to mock people who is the made-up word "irregardless" in a futile attempt to sound intelligent. Adding the prefix "dis-" cancels out the prefix "ir-," thus rendering the definition equivalent to that of "regardless" and eliminating the double negative created by people who lack a...

There = a place, as in over there. Their = it has an I in it, so it's the ownership variant. As in their coat.


Too = also, has an extra o so it's the one that means also. As in, I too like big butts. Two = number. Everything else is to.

Thank you, I've looked it up multiple times but like I said never could remember. I took a screenshot of it and going to place it in a folder on my phone so when I get confused I will go there. Look at that I'm already learning. Who knew I could learn proper grammar on a hunting forum.
 
It’s amazing what you forget when you don’t write every day.
Text has ruined many a person’s writhing/ spelling/ grammar skills. I have been in Maintenance most all my life since I finished college. I program PLC’s and under score and capitalize everything. I train guys with pictures and bullet points.

I changed jobs this year. I now write reports on every job. I pretty sure when my boss reads my reports she pulls her hair out and calls me an idiot many times as she struggles not to fire me before the end of the report! Lol. I will get better I’m so bad I am considering a class at the local college so I don’t sound so dumb in writing.
It’s really quite funny to speak to someone in person or on the phone and then receives email from them later. It often seems like two different people.

Confirmed for Pa - doe is what we grew up calling multiple doe... well doe. But it’s how we say it that we here in the fine state of PA understand each other when we are referring to one or a few but rarely a bunch.

Examples:

“Look at that doe” one Doe

“Look, doe” more than one Doe(s)

“Look! Doe!” Lots of Doe(s) or running Doe or hit the brakes we are about to hit Doe(s)

If you are from PA it makes more sense.
 
I really didn’t realize we have turned into grammar police. More specifically to the original post according to Merriam Webster’s dictionary, the plural form of doe is does or doe so either are considered acceptable. I, too say does but since the most significant dictionary of English language says either is correct, I do not correct people for using doe as the plural.

... But do you say, "Hey, look at those 3 buck!"

Or

"Hey, look at those 3 bucks!"

A wise man once told me that use of proper word selection, grammar, punctuation, and spelling is imperative. It is the difference between knowing your sh*t and knowing you’re sh*t! :sweatsmile:

This, 100%. I can hear the grammatical quantity error but calling multiple female deer all “doe” (and conversely, just “buck”) makes total sense in my origin county dialect.

The old guys at camp definitely say “…then I hear this sh-sh-sh-sh [imitating rustled leaves], so I turn around, and here *come four doe [or buck]…”

*and it’s definitely come, not came.

They continue: “Well, it might’ve been more, but I only *seen four”
