I sure do. You must have missed the post in which I provided proof positive that irregardless is a word, even if it is redundant. Honestly though why are you still on about this? I mean I understand that you have no real response to all the charges that have been made; but isnt there something with some sembelence of importance for you to babbel about?
You let me know cupcake, maybe you can discuss ideas at the next staff meeting in the gym.
See you on the lion!

ir·re·gard·less /??r??g?rdl?s/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ir-i-gahrd-lis] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–adverb Nonstandard. regardless.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Origin: 1910–15; ir-2 (prob. after irrespective) + regardless]
—Usage note Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.

American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source ir·re·gard·less (?r'?-gärd'l?s) Pronunciation Key
adv. Nonstandard
Regardless.
[Probably blend of irrespective and regardless.]
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

Yeah, like when FJ says "HLA has done nothing wrong" (global assumption) based on singular CPS reports that he claims resulted in no action (specific instances).
This is INductive logic. In an intellectual debate you are the analog of the one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.
