[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] VDA will go before Arlington because they want their boys in MLSN and on the girls side BP was at a GA club before anyway and will still have his marketing machine irregardless of league.

Irregardless isn’t a word.  [/quote]

Not exactly according to Webster.  It is a word and has been used less in writing but more in prose.  It recommends using regardless in its place, but you are not correct that it isn't a word.  It is an irregular word.

I'm not the person who used it initially.[/quote]

Irregardless isn’t a word.  Want to look stupid? Use it as much as you like.  [/quote]

I think you actually look stupid.  They even have a name for people like you.  You can read all about it here Bluto:  https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/is-irregardless-a-real-word-heh-heh

Ah, irregardless—the linguistic equivalent of wearing socks with sandals. Technically, yes, it is a word. It has been used for over a century and even appears in dictionaries. However, it is widely regarded as nonstandard because the prefix ir- and the suffix -less create a double negative, making it redundant.

The preferred term is simply regardless. Using irregardless might raise some eyebrows, particularly among grammar purists.
