The words regardless and irregardless mean the same thing.
However, regardless is the more commonly used of the two because the prefix “ir” and suffix “less” are two negative elements that together cause the meaning of irregardless to be unclear.
Irregardless is primarily used in speech and not in written prose. Regardless is generally the more accepted word.
The Titanic crashed because its helmsman turned the wrong way.
Until now, it has been widely accepted that the great ship was sailing too fast and its crew did not see the iceberg soon enough to avoid it. However, a new book that has recently been released by the granddaughter of the Titanic’s second officer begs to differ.
According to Lady Patten (the granddaughter of Second Officer Charles Lightoller), the crew spotted the iceberg with plenty of time to dodge it. However, the helmsman at the wheel panicked and turned right instead of left (you had to steer the opposite way that you wished to turn!), dooming the vessel.
All the passengers and crew could have been saved after the ship struck the iceberg if they had just stayed put. Instead, the ship kept moving, allowing water to flood the hull and sink it.
About 600 cows are used to manufacture a full season’s worth of NFL footballs.
And all of these footballs are manufactured at ONE factory in a same town called Ada, Ohio! Wilson Sporting Goods Company has been the official football supplier for the National Football League since 1941, and 150 workers at the plant in Ada construct 700,000 regulation-sized footballs BY HAND each year!
If you're a cow (in which case, congrats on learning how to read!) you have only a 1 in 17,420,000 chance of becoming a football that is used in the Super Bowl (roughly the same odd of catching the black plague).
