http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=irregardless

Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less
Pronunciation: "ir-i-'gärd-l&s
Function: adverb
Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless
Date: circa 1912
nonstandard : REGARDLESS
usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.
 
If one is a close enough friend, take her aside and suggest that she not do it, it's criminal to do so. Talk her out of it.

If neither is a good friend.... screw it. Let the administrators know. The girls don't have to know who told the administration, the administration just has to know who to be on the lookout for.

So please tell us what this is all about?

Did you ever think that peoples opinions may change if you gave them the whole story? Instead you give a couple sentances and all high and mighty.

I knew a couple people in school who cheated on assignments and tests. You know what, they have crappy jobs now. Stupid people get what's coming to them sooner or later. Don't be a dick for once in your life and just mind your own business.

Um, no. Why would you use a word that is itself redundant?

I hate people who can't type properly. Did your dad give you any painkiller before he chopped off your fingers for masturbating too much?
 
I agree with NuclearFusi0n on this one. Their cheating erodes the integrity of standardized testing. Besides, people of lower intelligence getting accepted into a facility of higher learning will do neither party much good.
 
Well, are they hot or not? Proceed with your decision based on that since you can get what you want when people are desperate. 🙂

but the thing is, i'm not that desperate. I don't need blackmail, buddy. 😉
 
the only thing that would happen probably is that they'd be kicked out of the school

it's a pretty old method of cheating

Laulicht and Bakhru were charged with third-degree burglary for electronically stealing test questions and unlawful duplication of computer materials.

The system the chicks I know rigged up does not involve any kind of copying, so i doubt these charges would apply. =\

What system was this?

Yeah, they either look alike or the test admins are also in on it. I don't see how anyone can come up with a fool proof system to cheat on the SAT, ACT or GMAT.

Easy they will take any kind of id (including school) which can easily be forged. People have been doing this on SATs for a while. NOt to hard, but people do get caught occasionally.

Further more it is his perrogative to bust them for cheating. There are 2 types of people in this world: those who get away and those who get caught. Don't be mad that he is making it harder to be in the former.
