Caster Semenya Cleared To Return To Competition
04/15/10-by Bridgette P. LaVictoire
Caster Semenya has been cleared to return to competition in women’s sports by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). Semenya was forced to undergo genetic testing in order to determine her genetic sex after several allegations regarding whether or not she might be male or intersexed surfaced.
Semenya was driven near the brink over these allegations. Recently, she announced that she was returning to competition with or without the final results of the testing, which is to be released in June. Some reports stated that Semenya had both male and female sex organs. Whether this is true or not, it is not what would disqualify her from competition.
Semenya began competing again in February.
What is horrific about this case is that Semenya had to endure this so publicly. Irregardless of her actual physiology, what was done to her often involved a public humiliation in order to get this fine athlete to quit the sport she loves- running. Instead, she chose to remain with it and has begun to compete again.

Irregardless??????
Irregardless IS a word- it is considered to be irregular English, and is considered correct. Complaining about my grammar is somehow rather petty.
Ozzie, there is a purpose for everything – have you seen a site called The Urban Dictionary? You may find a lot of incongruity. One of my favorite things to do is to make up words; I do it constantly – its creative and fun. The beauty of blogging is that it has opened the door – to creativity. The gripe I have brewing is when writing is reduced to “Rofl ty brb”
As far as Bridge’s use of language – let me say she is a writing whiz! Given that Lezgetreal is a labor of love – no pay – So pleeaaaeeeaaaase when you visit us – help us toil- the -tude(trademark melanie) by giving us more than just one word, especially not one that is irregular.
