Wondering if I've commented recently enough to be spared this fate...

Really???? They've actually made a movie based on a long-discredited fallacy???? There might've been some excuse for making this 50 years ago, but what's the point now? This has to be a turkey by definition.

How could anyone so totally miss the point of this quote?
Comment on 25 common phrases that you're saying wrong (2013-09-15 01:50:40)
No, "phase" is a different word -- it means "Any distinct time period in a sequence of events" or "a distinct state of matter in a system" or "A particular point in the time of a cycle."  As a verb, it means "Arrange in phases or stages" or "Adjust so as to be in a synchronized condition." Faze, on the other hand, means to disturb or upset. I'm pretty sure when you say something "didn't faze you" you mean it didn't disturb or upset you rather than it didn't arrange you in stages or synchronise you. They are two different words with two different meanings, and their spellings are different as well.  Faze is not a slang spelling of phase;  it's a different, distinct word. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/faze

Both are correct in modern usage.  The original, inflammable, means "able to be inflamed" -- inflame means, literally, to set on fire.  Flammable was not originally a legitimate word, but is a back construction from inflammable, presumable due to a misunderstanding of the prefix "in-" which, in this case, does not indicate a negative.

Faze is not a slang spelling of phrase, and has nothing to do with sentence structure.  It is a legitimate word, and it means "disturb the composure of."

Irregardless is not a word.  It is a combination of the synonyms irrespective and regardless, and it's just plain wrong.

Best one I saw was "Mother-in-Law in boot."  :) ("Boot" is what you call the "trunk.")
