There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose.

Borderline American maybe, but not English. ================================= ir·re·gard·less (Ä*r'Ä*-gärd'lÄ*s) pronunciation adv. Nonstandard. Regardless. [Probably blend of IRRESPECTIVE and REGARDLESS.] USAGE NOTE Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir– prefix and –less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so. http://www.answers.com/topic/irregardless ============================================ mike |

"Brenda Ann" wrote Lynching, so far as I am aware, refers to hanging of a person without benefit of a trial. The definition could have changed. |

Lynching, so far as I am aware, refers to hanging of a person without benefit of a trial. The definition could have changed.. YMMV. Lynch. It would appear to have a general and specific meaning: The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide] Lynch \Lynch\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Lynched; p. pr. & vb. n. Lynching.] [See Note under Lynch law.] To inflict punishment upon, especially death, without the forms of law, as when a mob captures and hangs a suspected person. See Lynch law. [1913 Webster] WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn] lynch v : kill without legal sanction; "The blood-thirsty mob lynched the alleged killer of the child" |
