I know but its already happened more than once .__.

Yeah...
Learn possessives and clitic verbs

I usually leave out the ' in case people say things like this. -.-'"
You should reply more politely.

I was polite
What would you want more?
"Oh great Asahi, I beg of thee, learn how to use possessives and clitic verbs" ?

Majestical is not a word, O Nazi of Grammar and Master of Spelling.

O yes it is.

[Astraios]

It's not a proper word. Cf. Google; only 2 million hits for majestical, compared to 131 million for majestic.

It sounds silly, not exotical.

Irregardless, you need to reorientate your head if you think criticization of a native speaker will be receptivized well.

Irregardless is a very common complaint of "prescriptionists".

[Wattmann]

Holy Crapismology

[Zontas]

Majesctical is basically a redundant form of 'majestic'.

Irregardless should mean 'regarded' but dumbasses use it to mean 'regardless'. It's another redundance.

Also not words- definate, atleast, fantastical, alittle, alot, hisself*, & inmagination.

*Come to think of it, this one makes sense.

Myself
Yourself
Itself
Herself
Himself (wtf?)
Ourselves
Yourselves
Theirselves

all posessive nouns +self except one...

[Astraios]

Theirselves

?

[Zontas]

Theirselves

?

Shit, Themselves---- another irregular.

Himself is 3SG.MASC-ACC-self
Herself is 3SG.FEM-ACC-self
Hisself is 3SG.MASC-POSS-self
Hersself is 3SG.FEM-POSS-self

That's two, not one.

And I just wonder, what if "herself" is actually "hers + self" etymologically sneakily hiding?

Irregardless should mean 'regarded' but dumbasses use it to mean 'regardless'. It's another redundance.

But plenty of languages have negative concord/agreement, and it doesn't seem to bother them the least. No digo nada (cf. its positive counterpart (sí) digo algo), or indeed, some non-standard dialects of English. Social conventions will always override logic in language use, try to convince people, most of them could care less.

All natlangs are conlangs, but not all conlangs are natlangs.
First theorem of Serafín.

Also not words- [...], atleast, [...], alittle, alot, hisself*, & [...].

I find it fascinating how people do think they're single words. Actually, why isn't it standard to write them that way yet? It's not like people write "another" instead of the expected "an other".

[Jadyndar]

Hersself is 3SG.FEM-POSS-self

No. "Her" is both accusative and possessive (when modifying an overt NP). "Hers" can only be used by itself (oh look, another one!).

[Zontas]

This doesn't explain the rest.

[Jadyndar]

This doesn't explain the rest.

That wasn't my goal. I was just making a correction.

[----]

Theirselves

?

That's how I say it. When I'm talking about an indefinite person I say theirself though. No one's ever corrected me on it.
EDIT: In fact, Merriam-Webster recognizes it as a long standing dialectical form (apparently it's been around since the 15th century).

Irregardless, you need to reorientate your head if you think criticization of a native speaker will be receptivized well.

I would hope criticizing a non-native speaker would be deemed inappropriate as well.
