Irregardless most certainly is a word. Also some quotes
Microsoft Word so needs a better dictionary because I'm certainly not reducing my vocabulary. I do, however, get tired of going to Google's define: function to make sure I have a spelling right. Sheesh.
Then I checked email and found today's quotes were on dictionaries, to my great amusement. So, here, have some quotes.

- As far as I'm concerned, the only difference between fact and what most people call fiction is about fifteen pages in the dictionary. - Charles de Lint
- I looked up 'standard' in the dictionary. There are eleven different definitions. - Dave Winer
- Words fascinate me. For me, browsing in a dictionary is like being turned loose in a bank. - Eddie Cantor
- At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning
- Dictionaries are like watches; the worst is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quite true. - Samuel Johnson
- There is not an idea that cannot be expressed in 200 words. But the writer must know precisely what he wants to say. If you have nothing to say and want badly to say it, then all the words in all the dictionaries will not suffice. - Eric Hoffer
- One of the beautiful things about words is that you can put words together which in isolation mean nothing, or mean only what the dictionary says they mean, and you put them together and you get extraordinary effects. - Donald Barthelme
