irridiculous
as i was typing the word regardless in an email to my mother the *word* irregardless popped into my head. i reminded myself how much it irks me when someone uses it. irregardless is not a word! it's not (even though merriam webster says it is)! those who use it are incorrect!this is my favorite definition of irregardless: "an erroneous redundancy for regardless."
i am also fond of this definition: "Do not use. The word is a mistaken fusion of irrespective and regardless."
