Fox News thinks 'irregardless' is a word

[Delta4Embassy]

Woman on air last night said 'irregardless' which isn't a word. Googling for a transcript just now I'm shocked to see it's not a one-time thing.

Definition of IRREGARDLESS
nonstandard
: regardless
Usage Discussion of IRREGARDLESS


Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

I have always translated "irregardless'" as "regardless" ----but I did not know that
it is not a word-------I just thought that the 'ir" beginning was not needed

 

[Iceweasel]

Irregardless, the word is in use. And that's how it works and gets added to the dictionary. It took me one second to find it.

Irregardless: a word which when used results in educated people looking at one another raising one eyebrow.

Its like "misunderestimate".

Its funny how RWers are ready to accept the mispronouciations of white people, and indeed this mispronounciations make there way into the dictionary. But if a black person says something the wrong way.....

Just one of many incorrect forms that are in common use. Shrug.

I hear people say that all the time

Just like I hear people using the subjective I rather than me all the time

for example

Mom is going to the store with my sister and I

drives me fucking nuts

 

[blastoff]

Well it's improperly used often but people understand it, so to speak, as regardless.

It's a much different deal than MSNBC's race pimp Al completely mangling the pronunciation of everyday words that appear on his teleprompter that leave folks thinking he's just a dumb shit.
