We Don't Need No Stinking Dictionary

Irregular means not regular. Irresponsible means not responsible. Irrational means not rational. Yet, the word irregardless means regardless. How can anyone trust whatever else is in the dictionary?

    ahhh...the old "irregardless" can drive me to distaction, especially when a professor makes the mistake of usuing this word. Why would I pay someone to use a word that does not exisit...irrespective of that notion of course.
