KInd Irregards, @SilentK, and irregardless of what you say, irregardless is not a word used by educated people, but sometimes you have to speak the language of the Buyer, I guess. At least that is how I deal with it, and words of similar ilk, which is a word.
Sadly, the pen is no longer mightier than the sword, as it is no longer as sharp as it once was.

Educated people accept the fact that if a word is in the dictionary, it's a word. It doesn't matter whether or not it used to be a word or not. If that's the standard then no words are real words because they were invented at some point in the past.
I guess "educated people" are limited to pointing and grunts.

What can you say about people that argue points that were never made? ;)
Here are a couple of examples of last name mispronunciation in US: Petrosian: most americans pronounse pet-ro-shian, while it should be pronounced pet-ro-syan; Krush should be pronounced with Uh, not Ah.
