1. irregardless

   "Irregardless" is a non-standard English word often used in place to mean "regardless" or "without regard to." Despite its widespread use, it is considered incorrect because the prefix "ir-" and suffix "-less" both create a double negative, which can lead to confusion. Many language experts advise against its use in formal or professional communication.
