Yeah, poor Woody probably couldn't decide between "unrelenting" and
"relentless" and inadvertently gave us a hybrid.
One time I (when speaking) couldn't decide if what I was describing was a
"shame" or a "pity".
The church group didn't like THAT hybrid either!

Irregardless
of the usage, I understood what he meant.
English rule

2: Don't never use no triple negatives.

I know this isn’t English 101, but what
do you think ‘unrelentless’ means in this usage? Is it really a
word?
Love ya, guy, but if we don’t defend our
language, how will we communicate?
