I'm on the side of irregardless not being a word ๐Ÿค“

Haha, got me. Dunno which brain damage was responsible of that.

After googling I am fairly confident that it is in fact a word!

It is quite the funny word. Basically irregardless means regardless... so, like, what's the "ir" for? Regardless, it is considered not appropriate for formal writing. So I think you both get to be partially right here. Everyone wins!
