oh, my!

"Misconception: "Irregardless" is not a word. Merriam-Webster states that, "The
most frequently repeated remark about it is that 'there is no such word.' "[53]
According to Mignon Fogarty, this is an English myth. "You shouldn't use it if
you want to be taken seriously, but it has gained wide enough use to qualify as
a word."[5]"

so all you need to make up new (ilogical) words is getting a bunch of dumbasses
demanding it so?
