From Webster:RaceBannon said:
Didn't Webster give up and add irregardless making it all a mute point?creepycoug said:The CFO at my old company said "irregardless", and in his line of work, he said it in front of a lot of pretty well educated people. And he said it a lot.
But, he's retired with millions in the bank and golfing like a mother fucker. So, there's that.
Is irregardless a word?: Usage Guide
Irregardless was popularized in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its increasingly widespread spoken use 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.
I think they got that last part wrong. It gets used a lot. Irregardless, once Webster says a word is a word, then it's a fucking word.
Word.
