How come no one ever calls Photoshop "Photoshoppe"? Wouldn't that be cool? Y/N

Gunslinger Moogle stumbled drunkenly to the keyboard and typed:
I'm quite aware of this, and stand by my statement irregardlessupo

---

It isn't "irregardless", it's "regardless".

"Irregardless" would mean not without regard.

Gadani had this to say about Cuba:
It isn't "irregardless", it's "regardless".

"Irregardless" would mean not without regard.

therefore making somewhat of a double negative.

bad grammarupo !

Gadani Model 2000 was programmed to say:
It isn't "irregardless", it's "regardless".

"Irregardless" would mean not without regard.

You lose on two fronts.

The first would be because irregardless is a common usage synonym for regardless and is even noted as such in the dictionary.

The second would be because if you were truly intelligent and a scholar of the English language instead of just trying to pretend to be on an internet message board, you would have pointed out that irregardless isn't actually a word.

But fear not; although you've lost on those two fronts, all is still quiet on the Western front!

But I'm not truly intelligent, or a scholar of the English language. I never professed to be, either.

I am 14, rather stupid, and haven't graduated high school yet.

I dream of a world where "I'm tired" ceases to be an acceptable cop-out.

Mr. Parcelan stopped beating up furries long enough to write:

You live in that world. However "acceptable" and "used" are two very different things.

I don't understand.

And I was all like 'Oh yeah?' and Spiffy Puppet was all like:
Ok, getting back to the issue at hand here. I think they call it photoshop because they're implying that it is a "shop" in which you work and not a "shoppe" where things are sold. This would be the most logical argument as most people associate "shoppe" with a storefront instead of a workshop.

---

I didn't know "shoppe" was used commonly enough to be associated with anything.

These words seem to come from a time when proper spelling was entirely subjective, and the more letters you could shove into a word, the smarter you looked.

Maradon! had this to say about Matthew Broderick:
Down here in the south you see "Old Timey Meat Market" and various "Shoppes"

Are you kidding? Proper spelling is STILL entirely subjective in the South.
