Ha! I disagree, it is just ignorance - among the ignorant, it is acceptable. I suppose irregardless will be acceptable, if enough people use it as well.

Too true. Soothe the savage beast, chomping at the bit, I could care less.

Did you even read the link? But that's okay. You'll believe what you believe no matter what any authority says. I refuse to continue once the insults come out. Just remember that language changes. It will whether you want it to or not. Do you pronounce the /k/ and /g/ in the word knight? They did originally. You're saying it wrong if we apply the original rules. If language didn't change, we'd still all be speaking Old English. But that's neither here nor there. You're right, everyone else is wrong, and I'm off to converse elsewhere.

Ta.
Yeah I read it. I am saying it is wrong now, or by how I was taught at Sandia Base Elementary. ;-) . We are not speaking old English. I may be wrong, but I doubt the offenders of this infraction of words are not referencing some old English lexicon as justification.
Wow, you've never heard of dialect? ... And there are vowel shifts happening in the US as we speak (look 'em up) so if pronunciation makes you twitch, I'd stop watching TV.
Well, I understand 50% more as meaning 1.5 times the original quantity. But 4 times less is not logical when attributing real positive values, as that would be a negative quantity. 4 times more is understandable, but 4 times less?
Of course. The commercial I have in mind is for some cash-back credit card with Jimmy Fallon and usually some baby. We offer 50% more! But they never specify what the original quantity is. Ever.
Just the usual commercial/propaganda principles of generalities and warm-fuzzies.
