Hmmmm, I'm proved wrong again!
[quote]"Irregardless" is a word and we're duty-bound to enter
it.
My name is Kory Stamper and I am a lexicographer for
Merriam-Webster. That means I am a writer and editor of
dictionaries.
One word that gets a lot of vitriol is the word "irregardless."
There is a dictionary entry for "irregardless." "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.[/quote]
Apologizes Maddog :oops:
