Sorry to ngdawg ... and with all due respect ... <i>irregardless</i> IS a word as recognized by that irrefutable source: the <i>Oxford English Dictionary</i>



HOWEVER ... it is not supposed to be used in "normal" speaking (See "1934 WEBSTER" entry above). Irregardless ( )... the OED has been known to <i>remove</i> words at times.

The more you know ...
Note that it is 'recognized' as a nonstandard, humorous usage borne of two words. In writing, it'd knock off some serious points and in speech, is grating.

So....boxers or briefs, handsome?
