Irregardless is an often used incorrect word. The word is regardless.

Irregardless is actually a double negative. "Ir" means "not." "Less" also means "not." Therefore, regardless is the only correct way to use this word.

Irregardless is sometimes not considered a word. The prefix ir- means 'not', and suffix -less means 'without.' They mean the same thing. See site below for more information.
