God forbid we hurt our kids feelings and say "Hey pal, that's not a word. Use regardless or irrespective".

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.

Too bad fundamentally is not literally extant, irregardless of its iconic status.

It is a rare day when I don't hear or see "reach out" multiple times. Cringe.

For auctions, I always hated the term "blazer."

I don't know about auction descriptions, but can we all agree to get rid of the one word I hear 5000 times a day, "amazing".

One of the few I've seen called overgraded, and rightly so - BST got it dead-on.

What's this use of 'gathering' instead of collection? It makes me think the cards come together at night to dance by the light of the moon.
