Irregardless vs. Regardless (CM Punk's Grammar Slam)

[@TheLifestream]

You should do 'affect' and 'effect'. I see those mixed up all the time.

[@andressalvat]

As well as "then" and "than". It's an obvious difference, yet I see them swapped time and time again.

[@barrymk400]

+Andres Salvat He already did that one.

[@Highlifes4lowlifes]

Agreed.

[@scbtripwire]

+TheLifestream.net I still mix those two up and I hate that I do. :( I try not to, I swear!

[@charlieturk8141]

+scbtripwire I used to get those two mixed up as well. It makes it easy when you think of "affect", and "action" both starting with "a", and actions are verbs, and so are affects.

[@chuyrm93]

CM Punk for WWE Champion.

[@reygonzalez4719]

He was for like a year

[@Matt561]

+chuy RM He was for 434 days

[@brandonnarine4998]

+Rey Gonzalez 2 year

[@reygonzalez4719]

You mean all together

[@brandonnarine4998]

+Rey Gonzalez right right

[@joselyncamara7254]

it is just mind-blowing that now "irregardless" is actually considered a word

[@audiotyresup]

Can't forget that definitions of words now include the definitions of their antonyms.

[@amandaeastham7245]

I had a teacher in high school use "irregardless" all the time and people defended him. Many said that while it was a double negative it was widely accepted as an alternative for regardless. I knew however that using irregardless was incorrect, thanks for making this video to show that irregardless really isn't correct at all.

[@TheAlphaFury]

I miss Punk, he can still cut a better promo on a word that doesn't exist, better than almost everyone in the WWE right now.

[@alexwwe2009]

cm punk cuts better promos on this program than the whole WWE roster

[@johnsmith-ij9by]

Ditch the bottle gimmick that is so CM Punk vs Y2J 2012. Time to get innovative! Bring in chairs, trash cans and kendo sticks.

[@tommyfries4673]

Still cutting grade A promos, I see. Man, WWE fucked up letting this dude walk.

[@AshyCat]

+Tommy Fries he got fired

[@tommyfries4673]

anita life i know, man. they shouldve been doing everything they could've to keep him though. He's been the only bright spot in the company in the past 10 years.

[@shams3831]

+anita life ..He didn't get fired.

[@AshyCat]

ImSoSkilled he claimed they fired him on his wedding day during the colt cobana podcast

[@shams3831]

You're right actually, my bad.

[@margaretavila1226]

I'm so grateful that I got to see CM PUNK while he was wrestling! Anyone who missed his epic "Pipe Bombs", masterful rants (he OWNED that stick) and take no prisoners fueds, you really need to check them out. Plus, he pretty much introduced the rest of world to the Straight Edge lifestyle, and who knows how many lives that saved! Thank you CM PUNK!

[@gerbil5624]

Accept vs Except I mistake those two myself all the time...

[@jesseinfinite]

Exactly the differences between you and me** The second person is always mentioned before the first person. Wrong grammar right there, Punk.

[@blackman34]

He should worry about getting healthy and preparing for his debut UFC fight than worrying about people's grammar online.

[@Themachomanic]

Or he could do both because he can lol

[@wqm8606]

He can do whatever he wants, he is CM Punk.

[@AlexPunk95]

This was filmed over a year ago, just saying.

[@witl435]

+AL EX No it wasn't?

[@TheSKDBringIT]

+AL EX Wtf no, look at his hair its was 2 months ago. check his new photos.

[@VDRP]

Why doesn't CM Punk do this again?

[@DrAmazak]

These Grammar Slam videos are awesome irregardless of the fact that the sound isn't levelated properly.

[@Twistedhippy]

Dear sir. You used the phrase "me and you" in the sentence "you showed the whole world the difference between me and you" I believe that should be "you and I" Thank you.

[@MarcMeal]

+1

[@KRISTIANSMILJANIC]

You only use "I" to describe yourself as the subject in a sentence. In that perticular sentence "me" was the correct term for him to describe himself as an object. :)

[@jpd2753]

i caught that as well.

[@RobinBonhomme]

+Kristian Smiljanic Beat me to it

[@kayodesalandy]

+Twistedhippy Points for effort buddy...

[@neptune360]

1:54 "..the differences between me and you" ? I believe you mean "..the differences between you and I." Mr. Impeccable Grammar..

[@Garrywith2rs]

You should do Assume and Presume

[@Nerdist]

We'll add it to the list!

[@justhatemeisrael6760]

+Nerdist Toward and Towards

[@FrozenDaisey]

+Nerdist Do Toe VS Tow!

[@CtrlSaltDelete]

I've honestly never heard anyone use irregardless, but a lot of people must because it's not spelt incorrectly according to google (I'm not getting those red underlining zigzags).

[@kodos3333]

Yea I think it must just be accepted as correct. Also CAAAANTSTAAANDYA!

[@DX5555555]

+George Can'tstandya I hear it often. I live in North Carolina, so it might be a Southern/Carolina/Part of North Carolina thing.

[@adameltouny8464]

+George Can'tstandya spelled*

[@CtrlSaltDelete]

Adam Eltouny "In American English, spelt primarily refers to the hardy wheat grown mostly in Europe, and the verb spell makes spelled in the past tense and as a past participle. In all other main varieties of English, spelt and spelled both work as the past tense and past participle of spell, at least where spell means to form words letter by letter or (with out) to make clear. Outside the U.S., the two forms are interchangeable in these uses, and both are common." I'm not American so Spelt is correct for me.

[@adameltouny8464]

I'm American so "spelled" is correct for us. I appreciate the comment though, quite interesting.

[@TheCheat420]

I love that Punk put that guys phone in his pocket and then dropped all pretense to the bottle gag. I love these videos.

[@DougConnolly96]

yesss moving him around in frame with a background to recreate jump cuts, nice

[@MoeFoeJo]

I was watching the older cm punk grammar videos and was hoping they were going to release one soon. Glad they did keep them coming.😃😃

[@randomeventstv]

News flash they made irregardless a word smfh. He is correct it wasnt a word.

[@AllieRX]

CM Punk should read KZbin comments more often. I've seen some with spelling and grammar so bad, they make Dolan Duk look smart.

[@Derek_Keenan]

That’s probably precisely why he doesn’t read them. Lol

[@Gorrage]

I love these videos. Keep them coming CM Punk!

[@stevecass]

Thanks for editing this so I can show it to my class.

[@TreantmonksTemple]

Irregardless is technically a word and is in the Webster dictionary (along with most others). It's been considered common usage in North America for nearly 100 years and has been seen in print since the 18th century. It is a double-negative though, and is absolutely cringe-worthy.

[@xjoemallardx]

Punk was beating Rock's ass, until Vince came out...

[@sky7x269]

can't wait for next week. Great to see CM Punk again.

[@TheKnomad]

CM Punk, making the internet more grammatically correct since 2013. Talk about about an uphill battle.

[@kareemski126]

I could watch these all day..

[@SuperFlower323]

I'm guilty of having used the word "irregardless". I'm no longer going to use it because of a fear that CM Punk is going to smash a bottle on my head.

[@LizaLiza-uc4nz]

"My grammar is INpeccable." -CM Punk INPECCABLE vs IMPECCABLE

[@Ryan99SS]

My favourite wrestler correcting poor grammar, this is why i love The Internet.

[@Hallofang]

I acutally thank Punk. He let me know that just because I don't do drugs or drink or other things...Doesn't mean it makes me less cool or makes me cooler than other if I do it. I'm proud of being straight edge and I have Punk to thank. That and for furthering my education with his slams.

[@coughedfeathers1292]

so glad these are back! love them.

[@gaillewis5472]

CM Punk, thank you for your assault on horrific grammar and syntax.

[@Yeneo]

That was epic! The most frustrating word I have ever EVER come across!

[@ThreeKhalilVideo]

i love cm punk one of my favorite guys alive

[@wwegamer4543]

cm punk your one of my favorite wrestlers please return

[@thomasedge4life]

I recall CM Punk messing up the alphabet in his feud with Chris Jericho back in 2012. Regardless, I approve of these videos.

[@luiscallirgos5127]

O_o wtf ..... This show is just great.... I see myself watching nerdist again because of this!!! Keep up CM punk!

[@Cuteflu10]

Hey CM Punk, I love when you are Straight Edge and The Best in the World. I love you! You ROCK!

[@Headlesspig302]

I'm just happy to see punk again

[@Tsamuisama]

Pretty much why I'm subscribed to this channel

[@kylenewton4918]

Why am I just discovering this? This is amazing!

[@bloodshotgamingful]

Why did I not know that this show was a thing. This is great.

[@CarlSchmittz]

A Grammar Slam about the difference between "lie" and "lay"

[@GRUNTFETE04]

There were actually two mistakes in the sentence "Irregardless of you being straight edge" should actually be "Regardless of YOUR being straight edge".

[@tomleonard830]

Irregardless is a perfectly cromulant word if you subscribe to a descriptive rather than prescriptive view of grammar.

[@gunso9068]

I love to see cm punk teaching grammar 😂

[@keeganwolters3837]

Hooray! It's back!

[@GenerationNada]

Irregardless, this guy would make a better teacher than a wrestler.

[@danm7421]

He is so angry but the video is both awesome and informative.

[@kgnem8967]

Yeah this guy really is the best at everything he does

[@PricefieldPunk]

I love these videos, CM PUNK! CM PUNK!

[@JonBarton19]

I've never heard anybody use irregardless before this video. Glad to know it doesn't exist.

[@rainerschnelle1]

Hilarious rant. Gotta watch some more of that.

[@TheDudebot90]

1:55 Punk says "me and you". It should be "you and I."

[@FinalCutGaming]

I've never heard someone use the word "irregardless" until now.

[@gabbiehansen1280]

cm punk is a straight savage

[@GavinoBernal]

Excellent video today CM Punk. I hope you have a fantastic day, night, & evening. Stay cool, stay awesome, stay swag, stay unstoppable, stay incredible, stay popular, stay great, keep having fun, keep being the best in the world, & stay strong Punk. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your Tuesday :)

[@DDM-Nerd]

season 3 of grammer slam - LIVE at your local bar!

[@TheFakeAliG]

He didn't notice the bit where he says: “I loved it when anybody kicks your ass." Different tenses for ‘loved' and ‘kicks'

[@TheFakeAliG]

Get it right Punk!

[@robpegler6545]

+Ali G On WA The man can only deal with one grammatical atrocity at a time. In this format, at least.

[@TheFakeAliG]

+Rob Pegler I suppose. Maybe he could put it as a passing comment

[@robpegler6545]

"And by the way, you mixed up your tenses in that sentence, but REGARDLESS of that..."

[@TheFakeAliG]

+Rob Pegler I missed when I changed tenses, and if you mean from one comment to the other, I was referring to what he has missed in the past and what he could do in the future so he doesn't miss it in the future.

[@lockdown2341]

Good to see him back doing this, regardless of the WWE issues.

[@Z0iD_exe]

I love this series so hard

[@andresdohko]

@1:55. It should be, the differences between YOU and I, not "me and you." GRAMMAR SLAM!

[@mbloome]

+Andres Heredia Problem with that is he used the right pronoun...so...

[@chrisotto3921]

Why does everyone hate CM Punk? He's a really cool dude. I think he's doing everyone a favor educating the ignoramuses who absolutely suck at grammar.

[@Nalianna]

My personal least favorite "I could care less" vs (the correct) "I couldn't care less"

[@brettito]

1:15 "alls you had to say..." c'mon.

[@samsreview7335]

Man, CM Punk is awesome!

[@mhmm.5043]

CM PUNK good luck on your first UFC/MMA match!

[@mbullins2001]

if you send cm punk a master of the mic and it has bad grammar then you what you deserve don't send him idiotic tweets or emails cm punk was my favorite wrestler

[@wholeshebang1]

Try using punctuation so people can understand what you're saying. I think you missed the word "get" between "you" and "what" as well, making it even harder to figure out.

[@mateusparcianello5545]

If glass bottles were legal in UFC CM Punk would be invincible for the rest of his carrer.

[@gosick442]

When people thought irregardless is an actual word.

[@terracethornhill]

I think irregardless is a corruption of irrespective. Regardless and irrespective are basically interchangeable, so I can see how they could be conflated into a frankenword.

[@goldmegaman1000]

more grammar slam please!!!

[@officialdarkcompass]

This is clearly an insight into the US and UK educational system.

[@boobalangimedia3580]

Thanks for confirming what I though was so, I just heard someone say irregardless on a zoom meeting and I’m like, that don’t sound right, and that’s what brought me here. Yeah I know I should’ve wrote doesn’t instead of don’t but I doesn’t care😂

[@mathgodpiextras]

Any future hate mail sent to CM Punk must include mentions of Mickey Gall and Mike Jackson, irregardless of how cruel that may be.

[@aguyinavan6087]

I will continue to say it irregardless of this video.

[@hentaiboy22]

He is getting more buff it looks like

[@gosh402]

I was pretty bummed to read that he got hurt, I was looking forward to his UFC debut. I hope he gets healthy soon and kicks ass.

[@JoeHeine]

CM Punk just totally redeemed himself

[@panographic]

Senator Josh Hawley used the word "irregardless" during the 2021 congressional confirmation of Joe Biden at the U.S. Capitol .

[@natebrennan3716]

Cm punk: hello nerds Luke gallows and karl anderson: sup nerds

[@MediocreSix]

Irregardless is the combination of the words 'irrespective' and 'regardless'. Its non-standard english for emphatically saying 'regardless'. Just like fantabulous is non-standard english for saying 'fabulous'

[@ACuriousTanuki]

Ahh, the old conflation of Regardless and Irrespective...

[@Cassner]

Listening to Punk go off is like chocolate. I could end up gorging on it all day everyday, but then I would get fat.

[@jextercaber]

I feel so sorry for that guy who gets smashed with glass bottles.

[@jacobpollock6061]

Another error in the first letter is "I loved it when anyone kicks your ass". The proper way to put it should have been "I loved it when anybody kicked your ass".

[@mgraves3485]

Except that it is a real word... And you actually used it correctly, even though you followed with incorrect information.

[@MrSWAG2315]

That moment when he is no longer a wrestler, yet still the top heel in the company, GRAMMAR SLAM!

[@chasimpal3459]

if I we're your student I run away from the room..

[@spoonman6256]

Bring Grammar Slam back and have punk do "Lose vs Loose"

[@gingergreek]

This is just all kinds of awesome

[@TheOriginalJrod]

This is the easiest one yet. Have you ever had "Irregard" for something? NO! You either have regard or dis-regard. End of lesson.

[@liamdoesstuff8547]

Wow, they should do a wrestlers edition, where he corrects wrestlers grammar.

[@ll119]

more grammar for the grammar God

[@ArcielLoyola]

I miss this guy WWE is never the same without him

[@Radeo]

Next week..."all you have to..." vs "alls you have to..." or maybe not.
