I've mentioned before that I'm pretty random, right? And I also like posting an occasional fun post on my blog. So, this Friday's post is basically a combination of my randomness, my inward writer, and want for a fun post.
Irregardless
So yes, irregardless is technically a "word", as in it doesn't have a red line under it in the Blogger post. But really, what on earth does it mean? The opposite of regardless? With regards? Why not just say with regards.....?
Supposably
Oh, were you thinking of the word supposedly? I bet you were!
Undoubtably
Another commonly miss-spelled yet accepted word, just like supposably. In this case, the word should be undoubtedly.
Conversate
This is definitely not a word- even Google says so! Converse works and sounds a lot better.
Unthaw
This one makes me laugh. If you're unthawing something, you're freezing it. So why not just say freeze and save yourself a syllable?
Flustrated
You can be frustrated or flustered, but not flustrated! Please pick one or the other.
Heighth
Yes, this is a Bible word, and it was used in ancient times. But now, it's considered an out-of-date word, so just use height, okay?
I hope you enjoyed this rather unusual post! I had fun writing it. :D What was your favorite "un-word"? Do you use any words like these?

Fun post. I love using words that aren't words, you know!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vanessa! yes, it's fun to use them sometimes anyway. xD
DeleteHaha, so funny! Irregardless...hehe. That word doesn't make sense although we use it a lot. ;)
ReplyDeleteHehe yes! I agree, irregardless pretty much makes no sense. :P
DeleteI've been using irregardless for years, and always thought it was funny :P Lovely post <3
ReplyDelete~Noor
Well, it is pretty funny. ;) Thank you, Noor!
DeleteDis is hilarious.

DeleteThese are funny! Surprisingly enough, I've actually never heard any of these words. :) But the Unthaw is hilarious! :D
ReplyDeleteThey are! Oh, really? Well, now you know if you ever come across them. ;) And I totally agree- unthaw is so funny! :D
DeleteMy family says supposably ALL THE TIME and we were just teasing them about it the other day! :)
ReplyDeleteWith love and all joy,

Really? That's hilarious! Supposably is a pretty fun word, though. xD
DeleteInteresting post here. I think that littler is not a word. My dad always told me it's smaller not littler, but now littler has become a word. I don't like it. Very funny post! I like it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I agree- littler doesn't really sounds like a word! Smaller works much better. :)
DeleteI haven't used any of these words before. I'm kind of a stickler when it comes to words and their proper uses of them. lol But I have invented 2 words before. I can't remember if I've made up any more or not.....
ReplyDeleteOne word even has a "definition". :)
Have a godly day.
Love in Christ,

Haha, I'm rather a stickler too (sometimes), so it was fun to point out these un-words. ;)
DeleteThat's cool that you've invented words before! I need to do that sometime....
Hm. Yeah. I'm positive the word I invented qualifies as one of the weirdest words. lol
DeleteI've used 'irregardless' while speaking before, but never have heard any of those other ones! Definitely pinning to save for later!

"Irregardless" is definitely the most popular one. ;) Thank you, and thanks for following my blog, too! <3
DeleteYes all these words drive me crazy!!!! Unfortunately, almost everybody I know uses at least one of them. lol #thehardlifeofgrammarpolice :p

Haha, me too! It's even worse when people use them all the time, right? xD
DeleteI actually... don't think I use any of these words? BUT NOW I REALLY WANT TO START USING "flusterated" IN NORMAL CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE THAT IS THE FUNNIEST. xD
ReplyDeleteLoved this! :D

YES YOU SHOULD TOTALLY USE FLUSTRATED IN A NORMAL CONVERSATION BECAUSE IT IS THE FUNNIEST. :D
DeleteThank you!
Nice random post. I hear and read words like this frequently, but its interesting to see the difference between the spelling and actual pronunciation.
ReplyDeleteGlitzy Girl
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed reading this post. :)
DeleteHaha, this was such a fun post to read. Thanks for posting, keep on being yourself ;)

Thank you, Tane! ♥
Delete*Coughs* I use every word on your list except flustrated. *Coughs*
ReplyDeletePersonally I make up my own words all the time so it doesn't bother me but haha I didn't realize that some things I say aren't even real words!
Haha, really? That's funny! I think making up words is fun too. :D
Delete*chuckles at the word unthaw*
ReplyDeleteThis was such a funny post! I don't think I use any of these (maybe irregardless I do), but it's still super funny!XD

*chuckles with you*
DeleteThanks, Emma! I had fun writing it. :)
