Thanks for the information!

I too would not necessarily say that OpenOffice wins round one. Compressing the documents is obviously not a priority for Microsoft and I think for good reason. I use OpenOffice almost exclusively but I have notice significantly longer load times. I did not understand why until I read your article. If anyone is emailing either doc or odt they’re idiots. Fortunately, OO makes it very easy to generate a pdf! Now, is there a way to tell OO not to compress the odt? I would guess not.

LOL! That comment about irregardless reminds me of when my wife used to say “could you refrain from not doing that?” So I comply. I keep right on doing it. It used to really get her mad just because I listened to her! She hasn’t done that in a long time so I guess she got the hint.

The origin of irregardless is not known for certain, but the consensus among references is that it is a blend of irrespective and regardless, both of which are commonly accepted standard English words. By blending these words, an illogical word is created. “Since the prefix ir- means ‘not’ (as it does with irrespective), and the suffix -less means ‘without,’ irregardless is a double negative.”[1]

thats from wiki.
Basically irregardless is a bastardization of the english language
derived from a lazy crunch of two words when one isnt sure which to use.
and according to my father lol, its like nails on a chalkboard.
