To continue to digress - most dictionaries revise themselves frequently, adding words or changing definitions to match what has become common usage, even if it was once considered incorrect. They're strict about it but eventually they do relent. I haven't checked lately to see if they've added 'irregardless' as acceptable use, because I'm too apprehensive.
And that brings to mind last year's New Years Resolution, to stop using two spaces after periods or colons. It's a difficult habit to break.
