Irregardless of that fact, if enough people misuse a word or grammatical construct long enough, it becomes de facto correct

- kube-system 4y ago> Irregardless I see what you did there. And you’re right, but “would have” is not there yet, it’s just a common mistake like swapping your/you’re.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoSure. I'll give it a couple hundred years.
- lovich 4y agoCan you define a couple of hundred? Just to be clear I am a language descriptivist, and am looking for a timeline I can hang you on for being wrong. Also to preface, if you pick a timeline older then the phrase “the bees knees”I will think you are irrelevant, and if you can pick a younger phrase but I can show language evolution on top of that, I will also consider you irrelevant.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoJust to be safe, make it an even millennium.
