This reminds me of the time I accepted an offer during FTC alliance selection, I was rushing to figure out what to say (well, First I checked my team number, I still wasn't used to NOT being 1350, then I figured out what to say) I finally said something (I don't remember what) but I stumbled a bit with our team number and the mic was BAD (as in the garbled output actually made it harder to hear what was being said), the point is, the MC said something along the lines of "wait are you accepting or..." so I said, without the mic, "yes, We accept" and nodded for clarity. It was interesting.

"It sounds right" and "It's what everybody else says" doesn't mean it is correct or even makes sense.

I know this was a joke, but I have to do this:
*intents and purposes
*granted
On a side note I have no issue with irregardless as long as the context is appropriate. It is NONSTANDARD, but not wrong per se
