Yes! The word "irregardless" should be stricken from the record, regardless of context and irrespective of usage.

I actually had a fight with someone about whether this was even a word. I said it wasn't, and I was wrong, it's in the dictionary, but it's a stupid word. Webster defines it as "a blend of irrespective and regardless". What kind of definition is that?
