“irregardless”… hehe. classic.
Is irregardless the (non)word of the day?
good grief, enough with the irregardless already! That’s like 5 times today, just that I’ve seen!
@BalknChain: Irregardless is the non-word of amusement today.
Every time I see that word I chuckle just a little bit.
Yes, yes, we get it…. it’s April Fools day, but there’s a point of playing jokes and then there’s putting annoying crap out to be read just because you can. I’m reposting this because I see/hear too many people use the “word” in all seriousness. Irregardless is not & should not be an intelligent word. Let’s break it down
Root: regard
Definition: to have or show respect or concern for.
Prefix: Ir
Definition: prefix meaning “not” or “the opposite of”
Suffix: less
Definition: Without, lacking.
Put it all together and Irregardless becomes a double-negative and therefore means with regard!!!
@missdona: good times. Sounds like a Bushism. Well, thta may be too real to be a Bushism. I may have misunderestimated.
@aka_bigred: Even those people who accept it as a word know it’s nonstandard, meaning it’s in the same group as “ain’t.” Don’t be so concerned, we’re having some fun today.
@BalknChain: It is a little Bush-tastic, ain’t it?
Man, I’m crackin’ myself up today.
Each of us got sucked in here by that hideous word!
Irregardless, now that we are here, what are we going to do?
Goddang is it April 2 yet?
@missdona: Yep, no need to go all nucular over the silly use of irregardless. Misdona, you’re doin’ a heckuva job.
@BalknChain: Hee. Nucular-Heckuva-job-missdona.
Irregardless, I know it’s tired to a lot (alot) of us, but it just doesn’t get old to me.
@missdona: In Amerca, commenters should be free to love the word iregardless. With all this April Foolishnes going on here is a choice Bushism: I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee – that says, fool me once – shame on – shame on you. You fool me, you can’t get fooled again.
None of the coupons are suitable for me. Does that mean I have to pay full price and be a scumbag?
Irregardless, only scumbag merchants gouge customers that prompt many to search for discounts
Newman’s Own, Disney?
are they promoting a new paul newman attraction?
From the Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style:
“irregardless, a semiliterate portmanteau word from irrespective and regarldess, should have been stamped out long ago. But it’s common enough in speech that it has found its way into all manner of print sources…. Although this widely scorned nonword seems unlikely to spread much more than it already has, careful users of language must continually swat it when they encounter it.”
