Letter I... IRREGARDLESS
The word. Well, not a word as the case may be but I think you get what I am saying.
I am thankful that I
know "IRREGARDLESS" is NOT a word. It never has been and I pray to the heavens it never
will be. It is slang. It is urban legend. It is, or would be , self negating if it actually was a word. Also, if it were a word it would be the only word that means the same thing as the word from which it is derived. Regardless and Irregardless mean the same thing. Well they would if Irregardless was actually WORD!
One scholar put it this way -
"That’s right, folks, there is no correct usage of the
word irregardless. How is this possible? Because the word, irregardless, is not
a word. It is not a word in English. Nor is irregardless a word in German,
French, Haitian-Creole, Pig Latin, or even Spanglish."
Please, English speaking humans, stop it with the
irregardless.
