The english language is constantly being molded by those who use it. If enough people are using guestimate and irregardless, even if they don't make sense per se, then they'll still eventually become proper words. It's happened all throughout history, and is what's allowed english to become such a prevalent language--its flexibility.

Ohhh, you're sure getting me by coming up with results and then posting them on the internet. :roll:

Besides, it's true. I'd use my OED, but my subscription is On Hold and I don't feel like paying another 30$ to get it renewed.

Sorry.

If you care enough to post in all caps, paypal me 15$ and I'll share the subscription with you.
