There is no such standard word as irregardless... it is simply "regardless". The nonstandard word irregardless is redundant. The prefix ir- means not. People intend irregardless to mean without regard for some information, or without taking certain information into consideration. But it would really mean "Not [ir-] without regard" [regardless].When used, the word irregardless carries the unfortunate sense that an uninformed person is attempting to appear learned. Regardless of what others may say, avoid "irregardless". Ex: Regardless, Steve is A gay.

Is irregardless a real?
No, irregardless is not a real word. When someone says it, they mean to say regardless. The word doesn't even make sense because "ir" and "less" both mean not or without, so they cancel each other out. The technical term, then, is holding something with regard. But this isn't even a real world, so the meaning is irrelevant. You might hear it in popular culture (I even had to do a double take when I heard it on the television the other day!), but just remember that it's not a word, no matter who uses it incorrectly.
