That sort of thing makes me cringe.I do have a bit of reality TV in my life. My personal favorites are Dirty Jobs and The Deadliest Catch. That might be because I do LOVE Mike Rowe — the “star” of Dirty Jobs and the voice of The Deadliest Catch.I always say “I COULDN’T care less” rather than “COULD”. The use of “irregardless” makes my skin crawl!
