Seems to fit to me.

That's the INFORMAL definition (meaning people have screwed it up so much that it's easily confused). The standard definition of aggravate means to make a problem, injury, or offense worse. You can aggravate a situation. You can't be aggravated. Trust me, I've had this rule hammered over my head in writing class enough to know.

It's like 'anyway' and 'anyways'. One of them is not a word (hint: the one with the most letters), yet it's frequently used, thus accepted. But it's still wrong.

I mean, no one (except me) is going to stone you for using it in casual conversation, but try slapping it in a professional publication for the New York Times or something, and you're going to get a slap on the hand.

As always, the persistent misuse of a word has made it become acceptable.  It's in the dictionary now...

Absolutely correct.

Not in this thread apparently.   

Anyways ( ), The King was absolutely aggravated according to the dictionary's definition of the word. 

Unless the dictionary is wrong.

The dictionary is obviously accepted as the final authority; this is why it's now acceptable to say irregardless or conversate.

I threw in a nice analogy about how such COMPROMISE is shown in the church just to drive home the point in a way that everyone can understand it, but I decided not to go there, so I deleted it.

It is.

If there's every a discrepancy between the dictionary and the sharp shooter, the sharp shooter is right.

I've done other test and come out this way on those too. I figured it fair to use the same one to see how it would turn out. No difference. Not too many of these out there.
