Irregardless - English editing.

Irregardless means the same as regardless, but the negative prefix ir- merely duplicates the suffix -less, and is completely unnecessary. The word dates back to the 19th century, and may be a confusion of regardless with irrespective. It is regarded as incorrect in Standard English, and most people would regard it as a non-word.
