Most dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive. What a large group of people use as a word is a word. Even what a single person (a native speaker of the language) regards as a word is a word, even if it’s a neologism. But it doesn’t mean that every word is worth to circulate in the language. Such nonsense words should not be used by conscious people – that’s the only way to eliminate them. That’s why there is a need for popularization of the linguistic knowledge.

Yes, irregardless should become a word, because we are becoming dumber and dumber. I think it will accommodate our illiteracy even better.

I don’t have no problem with “irregardless” being recognized as a real word! (And I mean that literally.)

Yes, irregardless should be considered a word. The fact of the matter is that languages change over time. How many of you say “dial” the number, even though hardly anyone uses the old rotary phones anymore? The meaning of the word “dial” has changed and so has the meaning of the prefix “ir-.”

Of COURSE it’s a scary word! It’s “eerie” + “guardless,” meaning you have no guard against what’s eerie and coming for you!!! :shock:
