The problem is people use irregardless to mean regardless. The prefix ir is meant to mean not or opposite (like responsible and irresponsible). I’m scared the word is already following the path of literally when people actually me figuratively. |

In places that use irregardless, I would view it as implying it is foolish to regard as opposed to regardless which often means foolishly not heeding. The fact that "heed" is missing from my spell check might explain why new intention distinctions were needed..
