| Hmmmm, I'm proved wrong again! | |
| [quote]"Irregardless" is a word and we're duty-bound to enter | |
| it. | |
| My name is Kory Stamper and I am a lexicographer for | |
| Merriam-Webster. That means I am a writer and editor of | |
| dictionaries. | |
| One word that gets a lot of vitriol is the word "irregardless." | |
| There is a dictionary entry for "irregardless." "Irregardless" | |
| is a word. This inspires specific vehement hatred in people. | |
| "Irregardless" is a word and we're duty-bound to enter it. | |
| "Irregardless" is a word. It is related to "regardless." It is | |
| actually a blend of two words. It's a blend of "irrespective" | |
| and "regardless." People hate it because they say that it has no | |
| use � why not just use "regardless"? | |
| But actually in the dialect that "irregardless" comes from, it | |
| has a specific use that doesn't translate well in print. It's | |
| basically an emphatic use of "regardless." So if you�re a native | |
| speaker of certain dialects that use "irregardless" you use | |
| "irregardless" to shut down further conversation on a topic. I | |
| might say, �Dad, let me borrow the car. I'm a really good | |
| driver.� And he'll say, �Regardless, I'm not comfortable.� I'll | |
| say, �Oh but come on. I'll get it detailed, and I'll put gas in | |
| it.� He�ll say, �Irregardless, no.� | |
| The point of the "irregardless" is to shut down conversation. So | |
| "irregardless" is a word. It has a specific use, in particular | |
| dialects. That said, it�s not part of standard English and so � | |
| especially if you�re writing or if you�re speaking in formal | |
| places � you want to use "regardless" instead. Because if you | |
| use "irregardless," people will think you�re uneducated.[/quote] | |
| Apologizes Maddog :oops: | |
