When someone says something like "not uncommon" they mean "common" but with
an emphasis on how it's not really all that common.
So, irregardless would be without disregard, which would be kind of like
having regard but only just.
Irregardful, people should think about their phraseology for every sentence
they compose.

There's nothing wrong with that word, used in the proper context (ie,
colloquial conversation). The extra 'negative' on it ("ir-" + "less") is
a non-standard way to add more emphasis to the word.
