The word of the day is…
Irregardless…which is actually not a word at all!
While use of the word irregardless is relatively common, it is actually an incorrect blending of the words irrespective and regardless.
Incorrect: The Christmas party will continue as planned, irregardless of the weather.

Incorrect: The benefit will be issued to all employees, irregardless of need.
Correct: The benefit will be issued to all employees, irrespective of need.
Amen.
