As funny as this may be, "irregardless" has been used so often, it is now accepted as part of common vernacular.
Regardless of it's acceptance, I still have to fight the urge to punch in the face people who use it.

According to the dictionary people, this goes back to 1976.
Irregardless: Regardless
— The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition, 2018
Irregardless: In nonstandard or humorous use: regardless.
— The Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd edition, 1976
Irregardless: without attention to, or despite the conditions or situation; regardless
— Cambridge Dictionary (dictionary.cambridge.org), 2018
The word appeared in print as early as 1795.

Yes, that's what I'm afraid of. Especially with "literally." If literally doesn't mean in fact with no hyperbole, metaphor or simile, what word will take it's place?As funny as this may be, "irregardless" has been used so often, it is now accepted as part of common vernacular.
I literally have punched a million people for that, but mentally.
Lots of people these days remove the “n” or the “t” from words.
Thornton, Colorado is being pronounced “Thor-un.”
Mountain is often pronounced “mow-un.”
Kitten > “Ki-un.”
Certain > “Cer-un.”
Button > “Bu-un”
This idiocy is called “T-Glottalization” and I want to snap someone's ear when they do it.

Makes me crazy. Reminds me of the barrio in Long Beach when I was a teenager.

"Irregardless” is an unnecessary substitute for the word “regardless.” The “IR” need not be applied.
/——/ “I could care less.”
So, you do care a little bit?

/——-/ I’m 74 and only learned this when my Word processor’s grammar check kept flagging it’s when it should be its. Old habits are hard to break, but I now use them correctly. My other one was barely and barely. I have to stop typing and think about which one I want to use.it is often seen ...

Almost exactly.
One of my pet peeves is mathematical. You’ll often hear it said that something is, for example, ten times less than something else, when they really mean one tenth of something.
/——/ Some mathematicians love to provide a convoluted solution to a straight forward problem just to show everyone how smart they are.
