It's such an interesting idea to me that the idea of "correct language and vocabulary" really isn't any more correct than slang when we start really looking at the origins of our words. As much as I hate the word "irregardless," for example, it's used enough to be in a dictionary. So am I even right to say that's wrong?

I actually wrote a piece about the utility of certain slang words a couple months ago if you're at all curious!
