]]> Comment on Garner’s Usage Tip of the Day: regardless of whether. by Diana http://www.lawprose.org/blog/?p=87#comment-1761 Diana Mon, 26 Mar 2012 08:37:57 +0000 http://www.lawprose.org/blog/?p=87#comment-1761 Bryan, I've long looked to your writing guidance as The Word, so I must respond to your 01/02/12 blog entry on "regardless of whether." Ouch, that just sounds so awful! NYU Law was pretty open-minded, but it was drilled into us that proper usage excludes any "of" in the phrases "regardless whether," "the question is whether" or "the question whether." In your writing seminar in the 90's, the most valuable exercise was editing text to eliminate as many "ofs" as possible. True gold! Now you say it's a Stage 2 mistake and advocate using that unnecessary, ugly-sounding 'uv' here -- where it makes the speaker/writer sound illiterate and pompous?
