"Regardless of what you have heard, 'irregardless' is a redundancy. The suffix '-less' on the end of the word already makes the word negative. It doesn’t need the negative prefix 'ir-' added to make it even more negative."

Maureen and Rachel and I were trying to think of this word over a lovelyy Bagel Chateau breakfast on Sunday morning, and couldn't think of it until we got in the car and Rachel yelled, "Irregardless!" And it totally makes sense, it's just one of those things that you don't really think about. "Irregardless" doesn't seem like it should be a real word though, but it is...
In other news, it took a painfully long 10 hours to get from NJ to Boston on Sunday afternoon.
But Thanksgiving was good. Yearly 'thankful list' coming up soon...
