āIrregardlessā vs. āRegardlessā: Whatās the Difference?
When it comes to the English language, there are many things that can spark debate about whatās correct and what isnāt. The word irregardless isā¦www.grammarly.com
to contribute something to the thread before i get to the real purpose of my post, I'll say that I've had very nice experiences with both Mika & Isabelle at PS !
now to the use of "irregardless"... ok - its a word.
its a terrible word, though. it is essentially a double negative. Regardless means "without regard" - by adding "IR" at the front it becomes "without without regard" ... but it is rarely used with the intention of delivering a double negative...
so, yes, its a word, but its a mess of a word, and almost never used to say what it actually says...
back to work...
