It's not irrigardless. It's regardless. Someone should have definitely held you back.
Sorry, Might want to think about " Hitting The Books ". LOL
Merriam-Webster defines irregardless as "nonstandard" but meaning the same as "regardless." "Many people find irregardless to be a nonsensical word, as the ir- prefix usually functions to indicates negation; however, in this case it appears to function as an intensifier," the dictionary writes
Merriam-Webster Has Officially Recognized 'irregardless' As A Word.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), irregardless was first acknowledged in 1912 by the Wentworth American Dialect Dictionary as originating from western Indiana, though the word was in use in South Carolina before Indiana became a territory.
And its an official scrabble word !
