The one word I hear misused and misspelled the most is irregardless. It's not even a word, but used so much that it's in spell-check.
ReplyDeleteIt's a combination of irrespective and regardless. So, putting 'ir' in front of it negates the meaning of regardless.
There, now you can sleep tonight...or get IR words on Jeopardy.
