Nope. Your dad is apparently reading an article (or a newspaper) that will be published about 8-months from now. As of today, the F-35 has not been canceled.

If you would, ask your dad to what the article says about the replacement. Everybody wants to know.

You both should put down whatever it is you're smoking Wink

The F-35 will not be cancelled, especially considering it just scored it's first <a href="http://www.f-16.net/news_article4489.html">FMS deal</a>.

He's probably thinking of the F-22. That production line has ended and replaced by the F-35.

They can't shut down the F-35 program because they USA can't afford to wait another 12 years for the next replacement fighter. So they will to continue development of the F-35 irregardless of what the media and Chad the local internet troll says.

What's an F-35?

Ehh

..... not to nitpick or anything ...... but there is no such word as irregardless.
And i thought us Canuck's speak the Queen's English!

Come on guys. I thought everyone would think that was funny, Laughing

and ironic, Very Happy

and true.

You know, it was gallows humor--because the F-35 is in so much trouble for sucking so bad.

It may not be a 'Proper' word, but is used by some of us Yanks.

The word "irregardless" was specifically invented to upset English majors which is why it should be used as often as possible just for effect.

Irregardless whether it's in MW or not, it still ain't good Canadianese. Or Americanese neither.
