How about healthy for healthful, as in healthy foods? You are healthy, foods are healthful. Reply from Paul: That's in the book. Sherry also wrote about it on the blog (Is it healthy or healthful?).

Kudos for the new book! I look forward to reading it, although my grammar skills are lacking I am known in the family as The Lexiconigraphical Gestapo. Yes, we like to make up words, but only for the sake of amusement. I was thrilled to see ‘irregardless’ mentioned. Best of luck!

Reply from Paul: Thanks for the congratulations on the book, and I love the nickname!

Irregardless is a good example of a word that is accepted by many since it’s in the dictionary but just doesn’t make sense based on logic. Sherry shares our disdain for the word (No Regard for Irregardless).

Congratulations on the impending arrival of your new book. As someone who shuddered whenever the grammar unit was being taught in English class, I look forward to reading your tome. May it help cure my grammar phobia…

Reply from Paul: Thanks!
