In response to Re Bye Bye FT's (amused)

Haha - Just as I predicted. You REALLY are sooo predictable

'Irregardless' was chosen as a 'wrong' word simply in order to get your (predictable) response, Miss Assumed

The following comment is taken directly from the M-W web-site, and you WILL find 'irregardless' in the M-W dictionary. A classic example that demonstrates the so-called 'differences' between what is 'common' and what is 'correct'. - You know, the one's you continue to complain about.

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.
