wat. It is improper English. Regardless is already a negative so irregardless not only would be a double negative, but therefore mean the opposite of how people use it.
Read a dictionary nigga. It's a word.
A bunch of dumb asses confused regardless with irrespective and English couldn't keep up, so it just gave in to their will.wat. It is improper English. Regardless is already a negative so irregardless not only would be a double negative, but therefore mean the opposite of how people use it.

In this case the "ir" is not meant to negate regardless though. Irregardless is a (shitty) combination of irrespective and regardless.
Read a book nigga.
And the message gets across perfectly well when someone uses "irregardless."
Actually... I use the world "irregardless" specifically because it pisses off grammar nazis/language purists. I have a very deep love & interest in the articulate use of the English language, but I have no respect for grammar nazis. Language is not a set of rules, its purpose is solely for expression.
