Irregardless

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?

    "Lover"

    Also "Spider", but that's probably just an association thing..

    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.
