It's moot whether you agree to disagree or not.
Iow, I'd agree with you, but that's moot as well.

I tried to undue a change and now I'm under undo pressure.

Now you undid it.
Yeah, now I have a tough road to ho.
But I always took that for granite.

For a moment I was thinking what's wrong with unequivocably? :vroam:

I no right.
Don't worry, I'll pick up the slack! I have a truly endless supply.
My best friend and I are both unabashed grammar nazis, and we compare notes all the time.One of my favorites even caused her to watch Judge Judy, which she normally doesn't do, but I do every day. I saw a rerun coming up and alerted her to DVR it. This one is priceless:
The defendant, a supposedly 'disabled' woman--taking a shitload of prescription painkillers--strolls into the courtroom wearing sky-high platform shoes. When Judge Judy tells her that if she had a horrible back injury like the defendant claims to, she wouldn't wear those shoes.
Einstein...er, the defendant, then replies: "They're for television!"
Judge Judy says she wouldn't wear them even to the Oscars, with such a horrible back injury, the point being that the car accident the case involves couldn't possibly have resulted in a terrible back injury.
Einstein then explains that the car accident exasperated her pre-existing back problem. Really.
When Judge Judy corrects her, saying it's exacerbated, Einstein rolls her eyes in a way that would make any teenager proud.

And that's why God invented the Thesaurus. If I can't spell one word, I just find another that means the same thing and is easier to spell.

Maybe it's just the accent.

nah, its usually said by people with the average "american" accent (if there is such a thing) that I hear everyday...its in the same vein of people saying "expresso" instead of "espresso"...not a huge deal, just a pet peeve I guess
