Looks like its gaining some legitimacy: "irregardless; a combination of irrespective and regardless sometimes used humorously" (wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn) Courtesy of Princeton no less. Yer gonna just hate it in a couple of years when Webster adds it to the dictionary arn't ya. Of course it's a living language, not dead like Latin where you can know all the words and how to use them. Hell, if I remember it correctly "It's" was considered iffy back when I was Casey's age. Congrats on the weight loss by the way. Don't know how, but I've dropped 10lbs in half a week. Doesn't seem right but the Surgeon General says that I can eat 2200 a day and maintain 160lbs (my goal) and I'm only eating a wee bit over 1200 now so maybe it's OK. I don't feel bad, hungry or anything so I'm not one to argue. Again, well done.
