John from Paladin's Pad writes in with his biggest vocabulary pet peeve:"irregardless." "Ph.D.s, national talk show hosts, and journalists alike all use this nonsense word as if it had the meaning of regardless or irrespective. It's absolutely insane that otherwise intelligent people don't recognize that, even if the word existed, it would mean the exact opposite of what they are trying to say." An excellent point, John.
Reader WM writes in questioning whether viruses respond to antibiotics. My understanding is the same as yours, WM. I've always been taught that viruses do not respond to antibiotics. So why did I write that in my post? Dunno. I typed it out and actually paused to delete it, but didn't, figuring it made my delirious rantings sound more dramatic.
