irregardlessificationising 

irregardlessificationising (noun. gerund) - the adoption of a neologism by adding extraneous affixes to an already existing and perfectly fine word. For example, using 'irregardless" instead of "regardless". The term is used to mock the use of such words in speech or writing, or by inclusion in dictionaries.

Synonym: affixationizingism

Etymology: Formed by its own example of adding extraneous affixes from irregardless; this is also an example of nouning an adverb. Note that the preferred spelling uses the British -ising for added insult, but may also be spelled irregardlessificationizing with -izing.
"We are still displeased with the irregardlessificationizing of language by adding extraneous affixes to create malarkey words, but pandemic is a fitting #WordOfTheYear."

"So much pretentious business jargon (like 'actionable' or 'ideation' or 'pre-meeting' or 'wordsmithing') uses irregardlessificationising to appear smart in front of co-workers, but is both ridiculous and condescending."

irregardless 

Used by people who ignorantly mean to say regardless. According to webster, it is a word, but since the prefix "ir" and the suffx "less" both mean "not or with" they cancel each other out, so what you end up with is regard. When you use this to try to say you don't care about something, you end up saying that you do. Of course everyone knows what you mean to say and only a pompous,rude asshole will correct you.

irregardless 

A word used by uneducated people intending to sound intelligent. Often, the defendant will use this word in court in an attempt to impress the judge and jury. Educated people notice and those who use this word instantly identify themselves to educated people as being uneducated. Educated people rarely correct them because it helps educated people more easily identify them if they are well groomed.

Irregardless 

A double negative that while technically a word, is nearly always being incorrectly used instead of regardless. The people using this are usually pompous assholes who usually double down on irregardless being the correct word to use and are usually using it at the end of an email to be a passive aggressive shitheel.
