"Irregardless" is not proper because it is wholly redundant with the word, "regardless." They both mean the same thing! There is no reason to put the prefix, "ir" in front of regardless!

Use the word "irregardless" and you will look and sound like a dummy. The choice is yours.

(*)(*)(*)(*), why do schools no longer teach basic grammar?
