how long until we pull off an irregardless and save everyone from having to explain this ever again
People seem to be nonplussed by the correct meaning of "nonplussed". I'm unimpressed that everyone seems to think it means unimpressed, but I'm not nonplussed. "Nonplussed" means only "confused". It has nothing to do with the absence of a feeling of positivity.

I have a confession... I glanced over the word "irregardless" in your tweet without reading the context of the tweet, and in my mind, I judged you for it. I was overzealous, and I'm sorry.

It's all it's not summed up to be.

I'm bemused... such confusion over the meanings of words. Is this how the end of the Tower of Babel began?

Where do I submit a PR to deprecate "nonplussed"?

This is another one of those "why do so many people think X" things where I hadn't the faintest notion that *anybody* thought X.

The thing about "nonplussed" is that the meanings aren't *so* different, so I can't be certain of everyone's intent, but there are enough clearly-wrong cases among many ambiguous cases that I think it's a pattern. And the alternative meaning makes sense, in a way.

I'm not nonplussed. Moi non plus.

I hate my typos. Specially when I'm trying to sound smart.
