Or perhaps you take some pride in your intellect and your communications skills. irúreúgardúless (r-g„rdls) adv. Non-Standard Regardless. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Perhaps from ir(respective) + regardless.] Usage Note: The label Non-Standard does only approximate justice to the status of irregardless. More precisely, it is a form that many people mistakenly believe to be a correct usage in formal style but that in fact has no legitimate antecedents in either standard or nonstandard varieties. (The word was likely coined from a blend of irrespective and regardless.) Perhaps this is why critics have sometimes insisted that there is ?no such word? as irregardless, a charge they would not think of leveling at a bona fide nonstandard word such as ain't, which has an ancient genealogy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
