But irregardless

It's a pet peeve, but there's no such word as "irregardless" Just use
'regardless'.

Much like the misuse of "loose" when people mean "lose".

I don't ordinarily use "irregardless" because I was taught that it was
not "proper" English. But irregardless of that, it is in almost every
dictionary, it is in common usage, and therefore it is a word. I
think I may have to look for a good place to use it.
