I was in college and took a sanitation safety class. I had to do a report on food safety and handling. I used the work unthaw. From that day on 19 years ago I have never said unthaw unless correcting someone or like now. And I correct people who say unthaw. My college proffesser said there is no such workd as unthaw it is THAW!!!!!! and he clearly wrote it on the board for all to know. My friends are sick of me correcting them. The point is. That college proffesser made an impact in my life. I now annoy people by correcting them when they say unthaw.

"UNTHAW" is a trigger.The professer was wrong.He was having a temper tantrum and you just happened to be the one he could pounce on.He was probably having a bad day. After all, he's a professer and he knows there is no such process as unthaw, therefore no real danger to anyone to unthaw. A simple nice verbal correction, no big deal...but...he had a bad day and had to use all kinds of energy and flair to write a four letter word on the board.
Impact, yes, a negative one, huh? Resist the urge to correct on this as it is just replaying that moment (Really!)You're not getting anything positive out of it, tho your mind may be attempting to reconcile the incident. Think about it.
I'm sure your oral report was worth an A.Forgive the dude.We cant be word warriors.Speech is one of the enjoyable things about people.Now,go to, contact (me)and compose "I will not correct anyone for saying unthaw" 100 times and email this to me. This is one of the bestest things to do. You dont like correcting about this, otherwise it wouldnt have been a point. You're OK.

My answer is "no", though as a lover of words there are other word mistakes that slightly annoy me. Enough for me to want to be an annoyance to my friends by correcting them? No. Apparently the professor had a point to make that meant something to you. You don't indicate that he humiliated you directly. Professionalism, precision and literacy are good in their places. Let us be careful of speech, yes-but through consideration and kindness more than by correct grammar. Which way makes you a better friend, and for what would you like to be known? Blessings.

I've never heard anyone use that unword before. It does irk me for someone to say irregardless for the same reason as unthaw bugs you.

I don't know what you're talking about. Nobody would say that because it is easier to say thaw something or freeze something, which is what people actually do say except in your imaginary world.
Just because the few people in your illiterate circles say it, don't assume that the rest of us living outside of Kentucky do.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!!!
I say that as a person from Louisiana with relatives in Texas and north Georgia, so don't take offense, anybody from Kentucky.

No. People make mistakes. As proof, you may want to look over what you said. We are all only human so maybe you should lay off of folks... especially if they are getting angry at you.
