[/ QUOTE ]

You have to love trolls on the internet. Before you post, perhaps you should spend some time looking it up. If you want to argue that irregardless is sort of like slang, or ebonics, then there's an argument. One that I will continue to take the opposite position than yours - due to its absurdity.

From Dictionary.com

[ QUOTE ]
Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so .

I can assure you that irregardless is not considered ebonics. Or in a dictionary that covers ebonics.

Hell, I don't even think E40 attempts to pass that off as a word.

Off topic (even if it is on the topic, but eh.)

I feel you can't really single one poker game as being the toughest or requiring the most skill. Since it requires such an eclectic array of skills (Odds calculations, betting, "reading" players, and bankroll management to name a few) I don't think you could find a game that every player would agree requires the most skill.

If I had to pick one, for me, would be heads-up NL Hold 'Em, deep stacked, with antes and one blind. Either that or Omaha Hi/Lo. That game is nuts.

How about "unthaw"?

Not a word, thaw should be used.

It means "to freeze"
