Hmmmm, I'm proved wrong again!

"Irregardless" is a word. This inspires specific vehement hatred
in people. "Irregardless" is a word and we're duty-bound to
enter it.
>
> "Irregardless" is a word. It is related to "regardless." It is
actually a blend of two words. It's a blend of "irrespective"
and "regardless." People hate it because they say that it has no
use — why not just use "regardless"?
>
> But actually in the dialect that "irregardless" comes from, it
has a specific use that doesn't translate well in print. It's
basically an emphatic use of "regardless." So if you’re a native
speaker of certain dialects that use "irregardless" you use
"irregardless" to shut down further conversation on a topic. I
might say, “Dad, let me borrow the car. I'm a really good
driver.” And he'll say, “Regardless, I'm not comfortable.” I'll
say, “Oh but come on. I'll get it detailed, and I'll put gas in
it.” He’ll say, “Irregardless, no.”

> The point of the "irregardless" is to shut down conversation.
So "irregardless" is a word. It has a specific use, in
particular dialects. That said, it’s not part of standard
English and so — especially if you’re writing or if you’re
speaking in formal places — you want to use "regardless"
instead. Because if you use "irregardless," people will think
you’re uneducated.
