That's not for hours, isn't it?
Never know how long it’s going to take

That's wonderful. My parents just made it to 40 years married before my mother died.

Irregardless,
eek if it had solid sides, it could be used to "throw the baby out with the bath water."Attachments
Yup, after a few thousands of BBs I could quickly point-shoot (no sights) and hit nickel-sized targets out to about 10 yards, maybe a little farther, 8-9 times out of ten.
Put a LOT of BBs down that barrel.

Irregardless,
In college I had a writing/speech prof who HATED the word irregardless - he insisted it was a non-word.
If you messed up and used it when doing a speech or presentation in his class, it was an instant 10% markdown of your grade for that presentation. And he would immediately pipe up and ask you "irregardless?" - EVERY time - right in the middle of your speaking. Just to show you he heard it and let you know your grade on that particular presentation just got knocked down one full grade.
He also hated the word "basically" because he said it was a worthless, "filler" word that added nothing of value. He'd interrupt you to say "basically?" every time you used it - but since he at least considered it a REAL word - even though a useless one - he only marked your grade down 5% for using it.
He was a tough old bird, but to this day I virtually never use either of those words in any of my speaking or writing.

LOL. That's why I put
after it 
I used it once (in jest) at a church choir practice and one of the altos turned around and hit me (in jest)! Hmmm... I'll be seeing Heather in about 3 weeks at a retirement party for the choir director. I should try it again and see if I get the same reaction 30 years later. My gf is coming as well and she also cringes when I say it. Maybe I'll get hit twice 
Irregardless your professor was basically a jerk
