Terry, proof-reading is a curse with me. I am an old Journalism grad and I totally agree with you on "irregardless". There are also other common mistakes that we all make. But our main goal here is communication, and it's easy to make typos when in a hurry. It's time-consuming to go back and make changes too.
The mis-use of "Hopefully" is one of my pet peeves, but using it to start a sentence as an adjective has become so commonplace that it is now becoming accepted. I hope it's the worst of our problems!
Keep on makin' music.
