Not the grammar nazi, but the I'm surprised. "Irregardless" makes absolutely no sense. "Ir-" means "not" and "-less" means "without," so it would be a double negative. "Regardless" is perfectly fine. I just don't understand the purpose of tacking on a prefix to a word that already means the same thing the way it is. It's like extra work.

"Irregardless" IS a word, actually. It is recognized by the United States as well as Webster's dictionary as legitimate. Know what the hell you're talking about BEFORE posting a rude comment "Grammarnazi of IN". Idiotic, really.

There is no such word as "irregardless". Try to proofread next time.

I think some of this is true. i have done some of these things... as far as saying hey or responding to a question no one else responds to and my professor almost always remembers my name. Its always good when i need a favor and you walk in and they know your name and are more likely to help you.

There is nothing more infuriating than students who do not take the time to proofread correspondence with their professors. It is irregardless whether or not the course is an English course--it reflects extremely poorly on the student when s/he sends an email which looks like a text message! Many of my colleagues have actually indicated this on their syllabi...quite honestly, no avail.
