Pedantry: regardless

• kreeben 5y ago
  You pedantic piece of... nah I'm just kidding, Thank you. I actually learned English by watching Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson and Sylvester Stallone movies, so my grammar might be slightly off from time to time, but google actually agrees with me when I say: irregardless == regardless.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless I dislike that word more than I dislike "nucular". Like diarrhea, anyone can let it slip.

      Ah, so people've been making this mistake for over two hundred years but thanks to people like you, this misuse of language has been all but eradicated? Radicated? ;)

        That is quite the pun! I tend to remind people who think that this is an error that, although I share their disliking... - There is a case for the word and it predates us - Languages are dynamic and today's "correct" spelling is yesterday's "erroneous" spelling. I thought until recently that the spelling was "simply incorrect" until I found out there was more to it. It therefore is a reminder to myself as well.
