Irregardless... A pet-peeve

Okay... So, I have to admit that I have a pet-peeve. It curls my hair every time I hear someone say it.

Irregardless.

Irregardless is NOT a word. It is not in the dictionary. 

Regardless is the correct word. 

If you say irregardless, it's a double negative. 'Ir' is a negative. 'Re' is a negative. So, if you put them together, it isn't a word. 

So, what are you pet-peeves about the way we humans speak? Come on. I know you have some. 

I need to do some editing of my book and I am sure that through my writing I will be able to share several with you. I tend to get repetitive.
