We may not LIKE that modern dictionaries continue to reflect common usage (I hate much of it myself), but a study of the language shows that it IS the case since even before Chaucer’s time.

it would be fun if Dougie and thatababy could be friends and visit each other’s strips! Does thatababy have a name even?

@Kirk irregardless is in itself contradictory – without regard to something that does not have regard.
