Bastardization of words

When I bastardized it?

 

awesome

 

If everyone likes brutal muders so much, why are there kindly murders? Like when the Doc Kevorkian gives just a little too much juice to a suffering cancer patient?

 

The people you're talking to, apparently, are morons.

 

So are the people you're talking to. You just give them too much credit.

 

By this logic, "first-ever" becomes OK. ... How do I know "Ryan Howard's first home run" is his first this year, week, season, life, etc."

But I could care less.

No, really. Ask me next week. By which time, I will care less.

And the one that bugs me is "back-to-back-to-back." You can be back-to-back only once. After which your back is occupied. And really, "back-to-back" is dumb enough on its own. It's "consecutive" or "in a row." We straight on this?

 

Irregardless makes my skin crawl.

 

I heard somebody on TV, I think it was on one of the NFL panel shows, say "regardless" -- and then correct himself with "irregardless."
Ugh.

 

The local gov'na went with irregardless in an interview once. Blew me away.

 

Regardless and irregardless is like flammable and inflammable, right?

 

My old SE used to hate first annual and new record. He would explain to us, in excruciating detail every time, that there was no way to have a first annual podunk hs volleyball tournament. Funny thing is I never used it in a story, it was on the packets the schools had prepared with rosters.

Also I hate it when people use the word conversate.
