Whatever you do, make sure it involves the word "synergy".

irregardless is one of those words that is only really a word because people mis-used it often enough to where it becomes a word irrespective of it having any real meaning.

I can't stand it either. Etymologically it doesn't make sense, so despite it being a word now, I still refuse to use it.

Russ, make sure to point out that you spend all day on a forum for a car you don't even own anymore.

oddly, this forum is more entertaining and more informative in general when it comes to cars than any g35 forum i've found.
