Not a word I would use, especially in situations requiring proper grammar, but acceptable in everyday usage, like disregardless (which is also synonymous to regardless!)
It was never a real word until too many people started using it even though it technically didn't exist, thus forcing dictionaries to acknowledge its existance...
