Let's talk about irregardless. The proper word is regardless. The prefix "ir" and the suffix "less" make it a double negative, which is incorrect and redundant. However, irregardless is listed in many dictionaries, but as a nonstandard or erroneous word and regardless is always suggested instead. What this boils down to is stupid people have incorrectly used this word so much that it is semi-accepted now. If we all started saying that two plus two equaled five, would it eventually become commonly accepted as fact? I think not. So, please stop saying irregardless because for those of us who know better, you sound like an idiot!Dear Irregardless Idiots
