should be regardless.

Well yes. Notice that all 3 of my buttons were included
in that one sentence?

i literally saw the first when i read it. the third example (e.g. i.e.)
only came to me on the second read.

TM> "irregardless" instead of "regardless".

Sorry... you just hit one of my three "hot buttons" there.[2]

Can you loan me a dollar? If not, I could care less.

'I could care less' is not wrong, it's sarcasm.

And it should be 'could you' not 'can you'...

"I could care less" represents the use of irony, comparable to "wow, I'm
impressed!" in response to a decidedly unimpressive statement. It doesn't
work when interpreted literally.
