I'll contest that based on it's first appearance in print in 1795 and it's continued use since then. It exists in the lexicon of American English, therefore it is actually a word. But I know what you mean.

They can be very unique, irregardless of whatever ideas are literally hanging around in your head. But arguing that would be mute.

My whole statement was full of oddities and "pet peeves". Something is unique or it is not - there is no need to quantify unique. Irregardless is not a word. Ideas do not literally hang. And it is a moot point, not a mute point. By the way, moot means endlessly debatable, and not "not open for debate".

I've never been impressed with these people that pop up and say "hey you spelled that word wrong, so I think I'm smarter then you". It just shows, (in my mind any way) that said people have some type of inferiority complex they can't let go of.

Cause everybody knows you could spell check with the computer if you want to. So it's really no big deal, is it?

Yes it is a big deal. Different words have different spellings, pronunciations, and meanings. We have already done the hard work and created the language and given nearly everyone the resources to master it, all you have to do now is use the words properly. The more errors and misspellings you have the harder it becomes to "get the gist of" what you are trying to say. Some people on riu are nearly impossible to understand the way they butcher the language so much.

STATELY, PLUMP BUCK MULLIGAN CAME FROM THE STAIRHEAD, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressing gown, ungirdled, was sustained gently-behind him by the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned:-- Introibo ad altare Dei.

Halted, he peered down the dark winding stairs and called up coarsely:
-- Come up, Kinch. Come up, you fearful jesuit.
Solemnly he came forward and mounted the round gunrest. He faced about and blessed gravely thrice the tower, the surrounding country and the awaking mountains. Then, catching sight of Stephen Dedalus, he bent towards him and made rapid crosses in the air, gurgling in his throat and shaking his head. Stephen Dedalus, displeased and sleepy, leaned his arms on the top of the staircase and looked coldly at the shaking gurgling face that blessed him, equine in its length, and at the light untonsured hair, grained and hued like pale oak.

Irregardless is regardless with emphasis.

To some. To others, it is not a word. I was making a point about pet peeves regarding just a few quirks in the English language. My pet peeve is when people take things too literal. And, yes, literal is correct in this context.

:) I tease, of course. I am somewhat liberal in my literary interpretation.
