irregardless actually IS a word. look it up

[/ QUOTE ]

You have to love trolls on the internet. Before you post, perhaps you should spend some time looking it up. If you want to argue that irregardless is sort of like slang, or ebonics, then there's an argument. One that I will continue to take the opposite position than yours - due to its absurdity.

From Dictionary.com

[ QUOTE ]
Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so .
