Ah, yes. Probably brought to us by the same E6 or O1 who gave us "at this particular point in time," when he meant to say "now." Funny thing about the word though-linguistically speaking. If its use is universally understood by those who hear it, then it can not be considered a non-word. There are two kinds of grammar: prescriptive, or how we SHOULD speak, and DEscriptive, how we DO speak. Eventually such words (such as 'dis') make it into our lexicon. In fact I remember reading a few years ago that both forms of 'regardless' are now considered acceptable. I resisted correcting Drill Sergeants who said 'irregardless' for years, as it seems to be one of their favorite words, as in, "Irregardless of what you think, Jones, I CAN fit your mattress into your wall locker."
Final point about a post below. The use of the word 'nucular' should not cast doubts about the speaker's intelligence. Consonant clusters, as they are called, are a problem for many people. Many otherwise proper speakers of English cannot pronounce 'athlete' either, without adding the extra vowel between the syllables. It's like asking an English speaker to to pronounce the 'ng' sounds prevalent in African languages at the beginning of words, or the word 'fsyo' in Russian. Or there's the division of Arabic letters between solar and lunar. The 'l' in the article 'al' is either pronounced or not, depending upon the letter which follows. Sorry for the long post, but languages are kind of a thing with me. Too bad my English suffers because of it.
