Today, I was chatting online with a guy I really like, when he used the word "irregardless." I couldn't help but mention how little sense it makes, since it's a combination of two words meaning roughly the same thing. He replied, "lol what? your stupid." Jesus Christ. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was chatting to a co-worker, upon whom I have a serious crush. It was going really well, until he said "irregardless", as if it's actually a proper word. This grammatical abomination really ticks me off, and I actually had to fight back the urge to beat some damn sense into him. FML
Today, I was on a chat site and a couple of cute guys asked for my "ASL". I had no idea what that meant so I asked one of my cousins. He said it meant "asshole" and that they were calling me an asshole. So I cursed at everyone who was actually asking for my "age, sex and location." FML
Today, I yet again heard a friend say "YOLO" as if it's a word. It was so annoying that I had to restrain myself from punching him in the face and offering him the chance to suck on one of my turds, since apparently "YOLO." FML
Today, I was mentioning to a coworker how there was a huge lull today in business. A young coworker then turned to me and sead in a snooty tone, "I think you mean a 'lol', it's pronounced L-O-L." FML
Today, I was talking to a guy when he pointed behind me and said, “Hey, what’s that?” I looked behind me and he burst out laughing, saying he “can’t believe I’m so stupid that I still fall for that old trick.” We were having a conversation, not a physical fight. FML
Today, while talking to my boyfriend, he got upset and accused me of making up words to make him feel stupid. All because I used the word "vapid." FML
Today, I was talking to an attractive guy, but I was so nervous that I got tongue-tied and then blurted out, "Stupid autocorrect." FML
Today, I was talking online to this guy, and everything was great. He then sent a voice message and his accent was a deal breaker. FML
Today, I texted someone and typed, "lol". My boyfriend asked me why I put "lol". I told him because I thought it was funny. He looked at me weird and said, "But you didn't laugh." Now he thinks I'm weird because I didn't actually laugh out loud. FML
Today, at work I put myself squarely in the lame / old people category when I foolishly asked out loud what FML meant. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Some people just don't want to admit they're wrong.

I don't know if I can post links here, but I direct you to Cracked - 6 Words Made Up By Stupid People (We Should Learn To Accept) by columnist Robert Brockway. It seems relevant, and also, every should read Cracked. Proposed definition. "Irregardless: When you do actually have regard for the subject matter but you just don't want to talk about it with that person anymore. 'Yes, I do admire the works of Godwin, Gary. But irregardless of anarchic philosophy, let's at least put on some pants, OK?'"

Don't really see why you needed to bring it up in the first place; it's not as though it matters about small spelling mishaps when you're just chatting online.

Never a good idea to insinuate that the incredibly cute person you would like to go out with is a moron. And you may know that irregardless is incorrect but you are still a relationship moron. So maybe you two morons could still manage to date

Yeah, like those who don't know how to wear a baseball hat the right way.

Never tell other people how to speak unless they ask. It always goes over badly.

Pretty sure OP was exactly quoting the guy she was chatting with, which just demonstrates even more how stupid he is.

I would have found it difficult not to correct him if I had been you, OP. "Irregardless", for some reason, has become a very commonly misused word. It just shows how poorly educated we are in our own language. And this isn't FYL, it's FHL.
