For years, we have been told that irregardless is not a word, and whoever told you that was wrong. This weekend, Merriam-Webster declared that “‘Irregardless’ is a word.”
What? As the dictionary people explained:
Unfortunately/fortunately, if a word is used with regularity
– by a certain number of people
– for a certain length of time
– to mean a certain and specific thing
It becomes a word, whether we like it or not.
So irregardless of what anyone or Grammarly tells you, it is word! So save this post and show it to anyone who contradicts you, then watch them try to wiggle out of it. How much fun will that be?
