Yes Lightshield, I too hate people who use the word "Irregardless"
Some people just hate particular words. An ex-girlfriend hated the C word. No biggie there, that's understandable.
But some people have really strange dislikes. My ex-wife hated the word "Moist" and her sister detests "Flange".
What word do you hate?

I dislike the word "Moist" also.
Are you my ex-wife? x :P
"Lover"
Also "Spider", but that's probably just an association thing..
Irregardless isn't even a word; that's why I hate it.
My hatred extends mostly to phrases. Specifically meaningless business speak:
"At the end of the day..."
"Let's discuss this offline..."
"Out of pocket..." (when not referring to expenses)
"Ping me..."
"Sync up..."
"Put that in the parking lot."
Irregardless is actually a word and shows up in a number of modern dictionaries. It is nonstandard though, and similar to the word "ain't" in that its usage, while technically correct, is frowned upon in proper speech or prose.
