Ya Webster's Dictionary blew their credibility when they added "irregardless" to their dictionary - hard pass

Yeah, "irregardless" isn't a word, and if it is, it could only mean "without a LACK of regard".

@mcfate Yup I answwered over on the bird site

ir is a prefix meaning "not", regardless is a word that means without regard. Adding the "ir" prefix to regardless makes it a double negative so if used it means not regardless, that is having regard.

@NorthernInvader @mcfate Ain't nothing wrong with double negatives!
But if we're going to fix prefix problems in English, I suggest we start with "flammable" and "inflammable." They should be antonyms, not synonyms.
