Is there really such a word as irregardless, PCR? (I'm too lazy to look
it up)

My uncle was a great proponent of that word, Colorado, the one that
punched me in the jaw. He has passed away now, but I do see the word is
in Webster's "New World...", meaning "Regardless: a substandard or
humorous redundancy".

Well you guys (incl Gary), I seem to remember my English teacher saying that
that word didn't exist, and was overused by the ignorant. But,
(admitedly), that was awhile ago. (And then there is the distinct
possibility I don't remember exactly what she said)

That's a safe bet, if you remember her saying that
something that did not exist was overused.

Speaking of overused, in that it is misused far too often,
ignorant is a classic example.

There is nothing wrong with being ignorant.
Everyone is ignorant, to some degree.
Including your supercilious English teacher.

It is, to a great extent, internally redundant, and I doubt that most people
who use it are aware of the difference between irregardless and regardless.
It is also, IIRC, considered a colloquialism--accepted into the language
simply because of widespread usage.

Hi,

From Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary:

quote
Main Entry:ir-re-gard-less
Function:adverb
Etymologyrobably blend of irrespective and regardless
Date:circa 1912

Usage: 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.
/quote

That was interesting, MM

OK, PCR, you have been advised (by Merriam Webster, per below) to use
"regardless" (instead of irregardless), as documented below.

So there! (And here I thought you were an English major!)

Yeah, but by that logic I could use some words here that I probably
shouldn't!
