Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style ... it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. ... it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.
