    All the following words and phrases have become common, but their acceptance is varied, and each will undoubtedly make some grammarians furious. (Okay, I may have based this list off of what made my mom furious.) I will devote a separate comment to each one and end with a “that’s all” comment. Remember, this list is not inclusive.

    Alright. Merriam-Webster accepts this as a word, but does note that there are still many critics. You can’t go wrong if you use “all right” instead.

    Human(s) (noun). “Human” by itself is an adjective, a characteristic of being a “human being.” Although, admittedly, the dictionary does accept “human” by itself as a noun. ╭(╯^╰)╮

    Irregardless. No. Just no. The dictionary admits that it is a dialect word. Regardless, the rest of the grammarians see it as imaginary, so don’t use it.

    That’s all for now, folks! Admittedly, this is the last of the grammar lessons I had planned when I started this venture. Please stay tuned while I think up some more. Or I can do requests. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

    Reminder to myself: silly, you were also thinking about a should vs. would one. What about a can vs. may one as well?

    "Different than" sounds weird. Is it commonly used?

    @Blitz It sounds weird to me too. But I almost never hear anyone say “different from” or see it written. It’s always “different than.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe it’s a regional thing?
