[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Chief: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike Smith: [qb] OED??? Someone is quoting my favorite dictionary? Nice... Why is it my favorite? It lists "irregardless" as a word! :) [/qb][/QUOTE]Thanks [b]Smitty[/b] for the tip. After removing [i]irregardless[/i] from my lexicon a couple of years ago, I shall research and reevaluate its usage. [b]Henry[/b] I'll check your Wiki source but I'm cautious about those entries. Like you, I, too, have toiled on major dailies' copy desks and recount those discussions,,, [b]ON topic[/b], this cell phone discourtesy turned into a rather major network and wire/web story. Here's a [i]WSJ[/i] satirist's view: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704904604576335140830789306.html?KEYWORDS=rude+quiet+car What I think is this is yet another "I'm-the-most-important-person-in-the-world syndrome." Society, courtesy and manners continue to disintegrate. [b]Coast Starlight[/b] does [i]not[/i] have a quiet car (yet) [i]per se[/i], but like many LD trains has the announcements which vary by crew member. I speculate that this incident may prompt Amtrak to bolster, publicize, and implement stricter cell phone rules. And that's a good thing. [/QB][/QUOTE]
