irregardless

Merriam-Webster:

Main Entry:irregardless
Pronunciation:*ir-i-*g*rd-l*s
Function:adverb
Etymologyrobably blend of irrespective and regardless
Date:circa 1912

nonstandard : REGARDLESS
usage 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.

Language changes; adapt or die.

Have you had a gay time lately?

I was only trying to be helpful. I'd want someone to call my
attention to my errors, so that I didn't continue to make them. Poor
English diction reflects poorly on the author's education standards.

The language style I use on USENET is the same as I use with the next door
neighbor while drinking beer.

However, if you are willing to pay the $100/hour I get for writting
professional documents, I will be more than happy to proof read, spell
check, format, and grammar check my USENET postings.

It's a pity good grammar doesn't come naturally for you. Oh well....

In my life I have been, among other things, an Army Sargent and a
senior manager at a multi-billion dollar company.

My language, vocabulary, grammar, and delivery style in those two
positions have nothing in common.

I use whatever I feel appropriate for the audience.

If you are looking for the great American novel from me, you have to
pay for it.

Not sure how professional the documents are that you are 'writting'!

Like I said, I don't proof read, spell check, or do anything other
than pound keys for USENET postings. I could care less if there are
typos.

What part of that needs explaining?

So as a spokesman in an archived, worldwide forum, you have no
compunction about putting on a less than literate face by which the
world can judge airmen everywhere for decades?
