    What’s wrong with irregardless and anticlimatic? They’re both perfectly cromulent words.

    “Anticlimatic” — so there was no climate in the theater, then. Sounds reasonable to me.

    There was another panel but Mr Lincoln deleted it due to ‘questionable violence’.

    I think Nate meant “anticlimaCtic” (another word used for it is “underwhelming” — for which too-fussy Francis would have given a class) rather than “anticlimatic”.

    Again, Francis disses on one of Nate’s varied and sundry, yet largely harmless faults. Jeeze-louise, Francis, just leave THIS one alone, and you’ll be having less Exedrin-style headaches down the road. Chuckles! Snickers!! And SNOW CAPS!!!

    That was the most awesomest movie ever, Francis! One small sentance for Nate, one giant leap for made up words.

    If you want to read fractured phrases, read Get Fuzzy. The cat there lives in a delusional world all his own.

    Although Webster’s does say it is usage is American dialectical – in other words, it is a word in common speech, much like “ain’t” it also says that regardless should be used instead.

    They’re words, but he’s not using them correctly.

    Can you do a comic where someone gets thrown into Nate and then Chester comes over and does some thing.

    Both of those are, in fact, words. Check dictionary.com for yourself.

    I’m with Francis on “irregardless”. That drives me up the wall, too. You have to draw the line somewhere!

    Anticlimactic has been around since the 1900s and is, more importantly, recognized by iPad spellcheck. So there.

    Irregardless is a word that basically means ‘despite’. Anticlimatic isn’t, but anticlimaCtic is.
