Definition of IRREGARDLESS

nonstandard

Usage Discussion of IRREGARDLESS



Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech 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. Use regardless instead.

Interesting. Our laughing stopped about year 2.5 of the Holtz years for most of us. We lost a lot of online presence since then, so I'd expect the same if your trend continues. Your perspective on GOL doesn't seem to be the majority here in Orlando, but now it's getting a lot more traction.

Interest generally lags performance.

So, you weren't around when we were flying high and they were going winless? 

When they DID in fact state that we would also fall on hard times someday? 

There were very few fan bases cockier than ours for a while there and we have certainly been taken down a peg or 12.  Going from non existence to Number 2 in the country will do that to those with lack of foresight I suppose.

Their's sort of happened naturally.

Our's was self-inflicted and on purpose.  They still get the last laugh.

beastie is funny.  Irregardless and irredifferent are both "words".   

Merriam Webster: word - a written or printed character or combination of characters representing a spoken word

There ya go.  If some use it as a spoken word, it is a word.  It's just not well accepted among the educated.

What I find even funnier is his holier than thou coming out because he's been anti-USF for so long. 

He appears to be a Bull in name, but is basking in USFs struggles, irregardlessly.

Well, maybe he means something different than what we expect.  "Regardless" means without regard and the prefix, "ir" mean not as in, "irregular".  So, what he may actually mean is, "not without regard".
