Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Just a tiny nitpick, it's Regardless. Iregardless isn't a word.

He could of said that, but I could care less

You monster
If people say it, it is a word. Irregarless grinds against my sensibilities like orientate does, but you can't fight the tide (and shouldn't because language changes).
Nah. If people say it, and aren't mocked or corrected, it's a word. We're keeping irregardless out of our lexicon by force, so help me flying spaghetti monster.
You're literally a century too late for that. Irregardless is contained in Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, and the American Heritage Dictionary.
The word is informal and nonstandard, so don't use it in corporate settings. But it's in daily use and gaining popularity. So it's perfectly fine for forum use.
Also, Papyrus is and always has been the right choice of title font for Avatar.
I respect your argument and acknowledge your conclusion. However, I choose to ignore it.
We already have a word, it's called Regardless.
Irregardless is also a word. It is in dictionaries and was first documented to be used in the 1700s. You're free to not like it, but people will continue to use languages in the way that's useful to them regardless of your opinions. https://www.npr.org/2020/07/07/887649010/regardless-of-what-you-think-irregardless-is-a-word
Orientate comes from when maps used to point to sunrise, the Orient, in the east. Then North took over a little later.
My issue is that you can say orient as in "I use a map to orient myself in a new city." Orientate is just a longer way to say the same thing. My point was I don't like it, but I don't pretend it should be policed either.
Having done a straw poll of my coworkers those that learnt UK English say orientate and those that learned US English say orient - with so far no exceptions. Two cultures divided by a common language?
That's a dumb fucking argument. I guess in your world know one can understand you anymore
Did you understand irregardless?
No, I have no idea what you're saying and now we have to talk about it
I perceive thou dost not honour English, wherefore this discourse doth lead to naught.
Meh. I get your point I just would just say this term has been denied for 20 sum years now. Fetch isn't happening either. Also, using incorrect words like this just devalue anything you were trying to say in the first place. Just look at how it's called out right away.
Try 220 some years: https://www.npr.org/2020/07/07/887649010/regardless-of-what-you-think-irregardless-is-a-word
