Well then you should advise this company of that fact. dictionary.com SO WHAT?.....AIN'T is also defined at that site. Does that mean it is "proper" to use it, you cretin? Dictionaries are comprised of all words "commonly" used. If a word is used enough, the lexicographers eventually will include it. It does not mean that use of all words included in a dictionary is "proper". Imagine the nerve of them to publish "THERE" dictionary and include this word There you go again....it's THEIR not THERE! Apparently, you live in a trailer park! You must have a couple of synapses cross-wired....it's no wonder your mind functions like it apparently does. Tell me, are you on lithium or thorazine? If not, you need to be! By the way, FCM stock was up the last time I looked....doesn't that just frost you, Mr. personal vendetta against FCM?

Main Entry: irúreúgardúless Pronunciation: "ir-i-'g„rd-l&s Function: adverb Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless Date: circa 1912 nonstandard : REGARDLESS usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead. m-w.com
