way off-topic (spelling / etymology) Posted Mar 2, 2004 14:37 UTC (Tue) by leightonbrown (subscriber, #6264) [Link] Sorry, many people searching for a word does not in fact make it so. 'irregardless' is not a word.
way off-topic (spelling / etymology) Posted Mar 2, 2004 15:19 UTC (Tue) by hereticmessiah (guest, #19909) [Link] No, but use of it does. You don't just think that words have *always* been there,do you? It's called a neologism.
