In Which I Irrespect Matthew Yglesias
Matthew Yglesias uses the word "irrespective" twice in 55 words spanning two posts (including the title of the older post).
I don't want him to feel irred* but I'm feeling unusually irrespectful of Yglesias's prose style. I mean "irrespective" is a fine word, but what's wrong with "notwithstanding."
By the way both posts are brilliant.
*people my age think we show how hep and kewl we are when we demonstrate that we know that "to diss" is a verb.
