No, you're wrong. Your example of "irregardless" is not analagous, because it's not an example of a colloquialism. When that term is used, the interlocutor intends the same meaning as "irrespective" or "regardless", but simply chooses the wrong (made up) word. When someone used the expression, "It's just semantics", they are not mistakenly using that word instead of another. They are using that expression to describe a situation where a distinction has been made between two alternatives (as between a 3 and 6 week suspension), and where they are claiming that the distinction exists only at the level of meaning (hence 'semantics'), but, implicitly and in contrast, not at the level of significant real world consequences.

It is you who sound foolish, or like you have Asperger's and can't actually tolerate the living flexibility and malleability of language, and the creativity with which humans use it.
I never imagined that in a thread talking so much about Robbo would I read such discussion about grammar and the English language.
 
What’s happened to 360 would be like if they felt the need to flood First Crack with player guests and panelists.
 
Did Mike Sheehan let the cat out of the bag?

Robbo had open heart surgery and has given up the durries. Haven't heard anyone else address it directly.

Would love to see the minute-by-minute ratings whenever Jack Riewoldt is introduced. I'd be staggered if a significant percentage don't change the channel once he comes on screen. Total anti-draw.
Guy is rely over exposed in the media . I dont watch if he is on , he isnt terrible but he is on everything all the time .
 
So refreshing having coaches like Clarko and Dimma just talk openly without having to trot out the cliched lines and be guarded with responses if they were still in season. Could listen to them talk for ages. Fox should be securing Clarko to do special comments for the GF this week
 
Clarko and Dimma absolutely outstanding tonight.
Genuine insight and they have a good chemistry.
It’s amazing that when coaches don’t have a game to coach how much more they say.
 
More Clarkson, less Jack Riewoldt, Fox.

One is a scholar of the game and compelling to watch, the other is overexposed and makes you reach for the remote.
