I'm afraid your argument is invalidated by the use of the term, 'irregardless'

My favorite definition of the word "irregardless" comes from an old hard-bound Webster's New World Dictionary I have which defines the word as: "a substandard or humorous redundancy for REGARDLESS." [bold type mine] I enjoy using it when writing humorous pieces.

For the entertainment of those who would belittle its use, I submit this article: Off topic: In defense of 'irregardless'
