What does disirregardless mean?
irregardless is not a word. regardless is.
In my opinion, to wrongs do not make a right. If one person is violent
that does not give another person the right to act violently in return.
Now I'm making spelling mistakes, too. And i'm not typing at 1:30 am
either

Common usage, not rules in a book, determine (in the English language)
what word is a word. Irregardless is such a beast. My version is an
emphasized modification.
Spelling errors in off-line messages are aforgiveable! <g>
Hey, it's in my office dictionary. Nonstandard usage, though, because it
is redundant; once the negative idea is expressed by the -less ending, it
is poor style to add the negative -ir prefix to express the same idea.
Noentheless, it is occasionally used by some speakers, perhaps in an
attempt to achieve greater emphasis.
