    Spelt? Are you smithing?

    Your same source is going to tell me that irregardless is a damn word:

    without having lack of regard?

    Just learn language.

      Spelt? Are you smithing?

      “Spelt” is the more common spelling of “spelled” in Britain, where I am from, and where the language was invented.

      Your same source is going to tell me…

      Many such cases.

      … that irregardless is a damn word

      I don’t like it either and I blame the Americans. But part of learning language is learning that people using language differently aren’t necessarily wrong.
