According to Wiki, "irregardless" is a colloquialism originating in South Carolina or Indiana, and first appeared in print in the Charleston City Gazette and Daily Adviser in 1795.

Let's not escape goat the guy for his errors in syntax. For all intensive purposes, his point was made, so I could care less.
 
I vote for this lol

All of mine are 60's position. I'm not sure I've ever tried one with 70's position. But 60's is working just fine for me right now...

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realize we were arguing about grammar in here. I agree with everything Gorn has said so far. Carry on!
