On a side note I have no issue with irregardless as long as the context is appropriate. It is NONSTANDARD, but not wrong per se

I do have an issue with the term "irregardless." If you break it down, you have "ir," "regard," and "less." Ir is a prefix which indicates negation, regard is the base, and less is a suffix which also indicates negation or lack of. So, putting that all together, we get "not without regard" or more simply, "with regard." It makes no sense to say "irregardless" to mean "without regard."


Heil Webster!
