I get the point

And get the humour but what annoys me about it is this.

The regardless versus irregardless point.

The two words have a different meaning. Regardless means regardless of a single factor while irregardless covers all possible factors.

So, by putting that one in there is not only just plain wrong but the author us suffering from the same vice they complain about.
