If you can find it on dictionary.com, then it must be a real word?!

"Irregardless" is a common misnomer. Regardless is correct.

irregardless this movie sucked

reply

"irregardless" was used in the movie,thats why i used it,not because my grammer is bad

reply

Irregardless IS a real word, but it is superfluous as it means the same thing as regardless. It sounds awkward, sure, but it's still a real word.

reply

Actually - Merriam-Webster says irregardless is a word.

But for definition they direct you to Regardless.

About Irregardless - they say the most common remark about it is that "there is no such word" - And to use regardless instead.

LOL irregardless IS a word. Not a very highly used word but it is a word... Now, like in the simpsons where homer smokes, he says UNregardless and that was the joke, cause that is NOT a word..

OK before y'all jump on me I realize the word is only being used here because it's a reference to the movie itself, but I find it funny that movie-200's own link to dictionary.com reflects that it's not a true word. It's one of those "non-words" that is used so commonly that it's basically been accepted into the English language. Somewhere along the line we blended "irrespective" with "regardless..."

From Dictionary.com:

"Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing."

"irregardless: an erroneous word that, etymologically, means the exact opposite of what it is used to express, attested in non-standard writing from 1912, probably a blend of irrespective and regardless. Perhaps inspired by the double negative used as an emphatic."

REGARDLESS!!

reply

Doesn't matter HOW it became a word. It's still a word. I don't use it. I think it sounds stupid, but I still have to acknowledge that it is a word. If it were not a real word, it couldn't even have a standard, accepted definition.

reply

It is only a word because the misuse of it MADE it a word and now everyone accepts it as a word. So even though it is a "word" because it is in the dictionary, it is not actually a WORD. WORD!

Wow, the word word has now lost all meaning to me....

reply

It IS a word, an ERRONEOUS word. It's a double negative, having the prefix IR and the suffix less making it so.

HOWEVER, the definition of WORD is "A sound or a combination of sounds, or its representation in writing or printing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or of a combination of morphemes."

SO, since the ERRONEOUS WORD, irregardless DOES convey a meaning that is generally understood it CAN be considered a WORD. Just a bad one that makes you sound like an idiot for using it.
