The word “irregardless” slipped into my inbox like a rogue comma.
My patience, usually polished by the cadence of a well‑structured clause, cracked under the casual flippancy of a friend's typo.
I spent a half hour annotating the error, citing the Latin root “regard” and the Germanic influence on the “‑less” suffix—an exercise in precision that felt more like a lecture than a correction.
Meanwhile, my absent‑mind misplaces the bookmark that once marked the page where I discovered the archaic usage of “giddy” in 18th‑century letters, a memory I keep tucked behind a note I never read.
I guess that’s how I live: over‑explaining trivialities while trying to salvage my mood from the cacophony of modern slang.
