Irregardless of what you may have been told, this is a very exciting blog.

Let me make this easy for you. There is no such word as irregardless. If you're speaking and are tempted to say irregardless, don't!

Stop and think. In fact, the word you really want is actually easier to pronounce. You shouldn't even need to stop and think. It should just roll right off your tongue—and your very small brain. It's regardless. This is such a no-brainer that I'm having difficulty coming up with more material to make this post interesting.

This is one that I find hilarious.

The attempt at sophistication is laughable and should be laughed at on regular intervals so all peoples can stop using such silly mythic words as soon as possible!

The irony of this word's usage is that the people using it are generally management. Why is that?

Adron,

Management uses it for the same reason people use "I" as an object (see my other post). They think it sounds more sophisticated, but they're ignorant.
