How did the topic of Amouranth turn into an English grammar lesson? Well at least she bring out the intellectuals in you all.
We wanted to talk about something actually interesting, I guess.

It is a very poignant illustration of the duality of man; the dichotomy of intellectualism that exists in all of us, ergo it is in fact a quality discussion I daresay.
In other words, it's cool to be enraged by "irregardless" and "could care less" but still appreciate bewbs. Or cock n' balz; we shant discriminate here.

Bizarre double standard, when there are several dozen of channels of women wearing transparent lingerie, usually changing in front of the camera, for what is purported to be fashion modeling. Most of these ladies also have OnlyFans accounts with, I presume, far more spicier videos. A quick search will bring up hundreds of videos:

I enjoy watching these, so I have no problem with them. I don't really follow Amouranth's channel, but I don't think she's ever posted anything as overtly sexual as some of these videos.

Youtube would have zero income without them, but Youtube, Amazon, etc. can block/fire anyone at any time for any reason, and they don't even have to provide a reason or any way at all for the person to appeal. This is a legit industry even if people love to mock it, with people basing their livelihoods off of it, and they have zero rights. Many a banned by bots who made mistakes and getting it reversed can be impossible. The regulation of the content is entirely arbitrary.
It's almost as if monopolies result in capricious and arbitrary behavior by the monopoly company.
Irregardless was popularized in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its increasingly widespread spoken use 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.

Well actually (don't you hate when people say that?) despite being grammatically incorrect, it is an acceptable colloquialism.
Technically, it is grammatically correct. Because "could care less" indicates a position in which the speaker does care to an extent but the amount of care has the potential to be reduced.
Except nobody says it in such a way that such a usage would be correct; they would have to say "I could care less...". People only ever say "I could care less" when they are implying that they could not care less... which is just wrong. Irregardless, this has been a stimulating discussion.

Did you just see my "well actually..." and raise me a "well technically..."?!?
