A brief announcement. I will be on a trip with LIMITED internet access from June 23rd to July 6th. I will likely be able to post within this time, however, I will not be able to be on every day. Hopefully this will not create a problem.

Actually it wasn't just real life on my part but for some reason the forum has locked me out of it for the last three weeks and no combination of passwords or usernames would allow me to get back on. I have no idea how this account has managed to right itself.
Needless to say I'm quite angry.
(Former Shrodinger here.)
Edited for clarification - angry in general at being locked out during the tourney of all times, I've long since stepped out of Althanas for greener pastures. This was the icing on a monthly cake of Oh, John Ringo, no! for me.
Congrats to the winning team. Good luck on your writings in the future.
Tainted ... you forgot to mention the gold issue.
We earned gold the other two rounds, irregardless if someone wins or loses ... how come we got 0?
'Irregardless' is not a real/correct word. Please stop using it.
If we do win and so do you Shadowed ... I would LOVE to go against you and your team mate. It's always been my dream to finally kick your ass
:p
jk man ... but I still would love to do it.
;)
EDIT: I'm looking forward and anxious to hear the next podcast. :D
Btw ... Shadowed ...

Irregardless:
Quoted from the dictionary ...
Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.
Way to leave out the important part of dictionary.com's description.Quote:
Usage note:
Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.
This, children, is what we call selective reading.

Those were two separate statements, there was no need to mention the other one. Because I used it for the purposes of the second statement, not the first.
I didn't purposely not include it.
Yet, the first phrase was relevant to Shadowed's argument, but it was carefully omitted. The first phrase clearly points out that the word does not exist, due to it's conflicting grammatical misuse of negatives, and is only used by "educated" people who want to feel sophisticated with an unnecessarily redundant "word."
