English is the only language where a double positive equals a negative.

"Yeah right."

I'm willing to make an even trade: I'll let "irregardless" slide if we can establish a fine for adding "s" to forward, backward, upward, downward and toward.

You're welcome. :)

None of that makes any sense. Sforward? Sbackward? Supward? Sdownward? Stoward? Must be a public school kid... :)

any editor worth his salt would can you for using that word. Just because a word has been thrust into the dictionary because idiots use it so often incorrectly, that doesn't mean it's magically become a word.
That’s exactly why it’s a word. Word have meaning because people give them meaning.

Responsible, irresponsible - opposite
Regardless, irregardless - same

Irregardless is used, it ain't a word in formal English.
