Irregardless, you say? So that would be, what, a lack of a lack of regard.. so, with regard then. Jolly good!

Ah bait taken! :-)

As much as it pains people, irregardless is a real word [1] meaning regardless.

The page you linked to says "Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead."

Irregardless its still a word
