"Irregardless" is not a word.
Using it makes you look like a dumbass.
That is all.

About Me
- Janiece
- I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I care about social justice, libraries, science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I knit for charity. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

Irregardless of what you say, I still think... Oh shit!
I always snort when I hear someone use it. And then give myself a mental dope slap when I use it.
And what, pray tell, brought on this bout of Irregardless haytin'?
I'm on a conference call with about 60 other engineers, and one of the presenters keeps saying "irregardless."
Which makes me want to stab her in the throat with a butter knife.
Actually, being on a conference call with 60 people makes me want to stab myself. It's just too many for any kind of constructive discussion.
Of course, I think that the usefulness of a meeting declines exponentially with each additional person added to the fray. ;)
Jeri, how right you are.
This was ostensibly a "knowledge transfer," but it more closely resembled that time-honored Navy tradition - a cluster fuck.
I'm with Jeri
There are two types of meetings I attend.
One where you show up and are give a bunch of information by the bosses about things that are happening.
Two is where you and one or two other individuals meet to discuss how things should proceed.
Any other types of meetings are a waste of time, and the first sometimes falls into that category.
In fact, I think whoever invented worthless meetings needs a good swift kick in the teeth.
I avoid meeting by telling clients that I charge double for them. I say I can work or attend meeting, but not both. I've never actually done it, but it does keep meetings to a minimum.
Suppos"ably" bothers me much more. At least irregardless doesn't trigger a spell check problem. (Sad, no?)
It's supposedly. I'm just sayin'.
