My GP tutor shared soemthing really interesting. She said the word irregardless does not exist. That's because if we were to break up the word into three parts, (ir) would mean "the opposite of" and (less) would also mean negativity. Hence, ir-regard-less should mean regard and not regardless. Lost? Recall what you learnt in Mathematics. Negative x negative = positve! Therefore, irregardless actually means regard. So since we already have regard, how can the existence of irregardless be justified?
And she also mentioned that we like to permutate our words when we are writing AQ. Hahax.. I din know our class loves Mathematics so much.
So coming to a conclusion, we actually need Mathematics to pass GP.
