Is it regardless, irregardless, and what is "disirregardless?"
Is it "graduated college," or "graduated from college?"
Does anyone care?

to answer the initial question. Perception. We expect it to be cold and when its not we are relieved and put on shorts, or go without the jacket. In August when its forty five we feel like its january and 15 because of the body/mind expectation.
But I like the other answers better. |

How is it that "flammable" and "inflammable" mean the same thing? Or "valuable" and "invaluable?"

Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. . but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to? |
