Mr. cat lover Stan,

Darva tongue twister on Bill who?

Regardless of what the Canuck-lost-down-south thinks, many (myself NOT
included) have accepted the nonstandard form of the word (i.e., irregardless)
as acceptable. The earliest edition Amurkan published is from 1973. The
irregular form of the word is there regardless of whether it has anything to
do with the engine conversion thread or not.
