Today, I was chatting to a co-worker, upon whom I have a serious crush. It was going really well, until he said "irregardless", as if it's actually a proper word. This grammatical abomination really ticks me off, and I actually had to fight back the urge to beat some damn sense into him. FML

"Irregardless" wasn't originally a word until a bunch of stupid people kept saying it, like "bling-bling" and such. The prefix 'ir' means 'without' and the suffix 'less' means 'without'. Double negatives make a positive. Suffice it to say, if there were not so many dumb people saying it, it would not have become a colloquialism, which means it would have never been inducted into the dictionary. Some people need to learn the history of words, but I suspect those people are the same ones who stupidly use it under the argument, "...ddduuuurrr, but itz in de dicktionmonary. It are reeeeel wuurd."

If you think irregardless is proper grammar, then all of the sudden and supposably must be in your daily vocabulary as well.

It is a standardized word meaning we have excepted it into our language, but it is not an original form of our language. Irregardless, who cares if someone uses it.

I think what OP's really saying is that she's going to die alone with 22 cats...and thank god she doesn't take some poor man down with her.
