    Actually, if you pay attention, you will hear smart people using that made up word. It's just a trap that some people who aren't particular about their grammar will fall into.


    I actually have before, and I told them it's not a real word, and they're like "yeah it is!" and i'm like "lol...you keep thinking that..."

    according to merriam-webster.com
    Definition of IRREGARDLESS

    nonstandard : regardless
    Usage Discussion of IRREGARDLESS

    Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread
    use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently
    repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still
    used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation
    has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

    umm.. as it says, it's not acceptable. It's poor grammar. It's a double negative and if you use it, you are not looking to swift. :P

    For a more humorous viewpoint... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p ... regardless

    I've never used this word so when I read this thread I had to look it up, this is what I found:

    #
    Irregardless - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    * Origin|
    * Appearance in...|
    * Prescriptive vs....|
    * References

    Irregardless is an informal term meaning regardless or irrespective, which has caused controversy since it first appeared in the early twentieth century. Most dictionaries list it as "incorrect" or "nonstandard".

    Now I know

    This seems to have gotten way off topic.

    Not really.. it isn't acceptable. It's like saying "ain't" is a word... ok it's a word, just not a word anyone with a brain would say is proper. But let me put it this way... don't use "irregardless" if you want to sound like you have a clue. ;)
