All right. Let's settle something here. The word irregardless - is it a word or is it not a word? Well, this is a debate that Merriam-Webster is now weighing in on in a tweet saying that it is, in fact, a word. And that has led to a whole lot of reaction online.
Merriam-Webster has confirmed that "irregardless" is a word in the dictionary, despite concerns from teachers that it is not.
So fellow Soylentils, irregardless of my opinion, what do your think?

You can feel what you want.
Here's one [soylentnews.org] - saying that's dialectal. By the number of outraged USians, I get that not all of them accept it.
Here's another [lascribe.net] - no, it's not an eggcorn, even if it should.
