ir·re·gard·less [ir-i-gahrd-lis]
adverb, Nonstandard
regardless
Origin:
1910–15; ir-2 (probably after irrespective ) + regardless
Can be confused: irregardless, regardless (see usage note at the current entry ).
Usage note
Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.
