If you look at the man page for emerge, you'll see that the help for the -F option contains the word "irregardless": --fetch-all-uri (-F) Instead of doing any package building, just perform fetches for all packages (fetch everything in SRC_URI irregardless of USE setting). This word is widely regarded (no pun intended) as incorrect -- the word should be replaced with "regardless", which would carry the same meaning. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type "man emerge". 2. Type "/ irregardless". 3. Gawp in horror at the awful grammatical error. Actual Results: Fainting, nausea, rapid breathing, and in some extreme cases, death. Just FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless
