The Galactica 4.01 Wacky Poll

[wisteria_]

Hey, guys! Is there something on TV tomorrow night?

WHEE! It's been 374 days since "Crossroads II", and I am ready. In honor of the premiere, I decided to do another one of those silly screencap polls. No spoilers beyond the official promo pics for the premiere!

Love the poll!

I think Grammer Girl and the Podictionary have a good discussion about "irregardless":

http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/irregardless.aspx :Listing a word as nonstandard is a way that dictionaries concede that a word is in common use, but isn't really a proper word.

http://podictionary.com/?p=737 : There is no legally authorized body to enforce certain English usages but the fact is when you open your mouth and say something you leave an impression with people... [and] the impression you leave may not be good.

I would like you to know I am now singing the Coke song. This is all your fault.

Yeah, irregardless might be "real" because someone used it in 1910; it doesn't mean that it ought to be in general parlance. :P

(And that dork misuses "begging the question" to boot. I suppose that's been misused so often by so many that it just means something completely different now! GAH!)

<-- points at dionusia, nods.

GAH! I was just going to comment that issue... Now I have to just nod and look like I'm agreeing. Which I am, but dammit! You should have been in bed at 12:10am! :)

"Sorry, Saul. You can't just download and get a new eye."
I cracked up at that one.

I miss Flight of the Conchords! Thank you. XD
