And it really cheesed me when I discovered that that was an allowable pronunciation. My high school English text called <i>irregardless</i> "a meaningless verbal bastard." I love that.

I stand corrected. However, I also note the following, in the Merriam-Webster <a href="http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=irregardless" rel="nofollow">online definition for <em>irregardless</em></a>: "Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use <em>regardless</em> instead." Suprina
