Thank you for the compliment, and I did get your PM but I couldn't respond to your honest and appreciated thoughts because I gave up my premium subscription awhile ago.

Regarding Irregardless:


Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930's.

Actually some consider it a combination of regardless and irrespective. Getting two words for the price of one to drive a point. Its non standard use but not improper use of the good ole English language cyber ! Have a great weekend you smkys...
