90 percent of words used in English are nouns and pronouns?

No! Not 90 percent of all words in English are nouns; but the nouns comprise over 50 percent of the English lexicon. Having said that, to make a clear cut assertion about the percentage of a part of speech (syntactic category) is very difficult if not impossible: because English nouns can act as verbs, and vice versa. In other words a word may assume a variety of roles in sentence, category shifting so to speak.

Examples are many, here is a simple one:

I am late, I must run to catch my bus. (run as a verb)

You have a run on your pantyhose. (run as a noun), or

I did do my 3-mile run this morning. (run as a noun)

Which is grammatically correct regardless or irregardless?

'Regardless' is grammatically correct. It means 'without having regard' ('regard-less'). By putting 'ir' in front of it you reverse its meaning and end up with a 'word' which, if it actually existed, would mean 'not without having regard', or, put more simply, 'having regard'. Both the prefix 'ir' and the suffix 'less' serve to reverse the meaning of the root word, so used together they merely cancel each other out.

'Irregardless' is, unfortunately, a common error and results from not thinking about the meaning of what you write. Compare 'irrespective', which also means 'without having regard' ('ir-respective'). You need only one element to reverse the meaning of the root word. You would not write 'irrespectiveless'!

It may be that English speakers do not like variety of expression. Certainly, many English speakers confuse similar expressions, mixing them up and cramming them together. There is a word: irregarding, which some confuse with the word regardless, creating the monster "irregardless." Another example is : cannot help but love you ( a confusion of cannot help loving you and cannot but love you)

There's certainly no word 'irregarding' in any version of the English language that I am aware of.

What is the difference between supplemental and supplementary?

Does the comma come before or after the word but?

There is no word or phrase in English that requires a comma. Sometimes a comma may go before the word but, for example if it introduces a new thought: We went straight home, but there were interruptions along the way. And sometime a comma may go after the word but: Time is money. But, as we often remind ourselves, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Some people might try to put the comma after, but it comes before.
