Both are in the dictionary, but Regardless is the proper word.
Irregardless is considered Non-standard.
I have been known to use both but try to stick to Regardless.

Irregardless should be banned. It goes against a rule in English grammar (double negative). Regardless is the only one I ever use and I cringe when I hear someone say irregardless (or worse yet is when I read the word). Most dictionaries do not show irregardless but some do.

During the French and Indian Wars, the British retreated from the site of what would later become Cleveland. In doing so, they left Lake Erie guardless.
That is the only proper use of "irregardless"...

I say regardless, but I don't say it very often, so I had to stop and think about it.

I stick to Regradless cause I don't want people to look at me funny!

the ir sounds redundant. Mostly because it is.

Yes, you are right.
What else is left to explain?
