It's redundant and improper.

Shows what you people know. I still have my original trilogy VHS tapes. Han shoots. Greedo dies. The end. :D
We do too! :D

Han shoots, Greedo dies.
Darth Vader kills Emperor with visible internal conflict and doesn't scream No too.

Oh, and a Krayt Dragon sounds like a Krayt Dragon (Cause I know what a Krayt Dragon sounds like....)
Silly Jeff, I have the original VHS too. And it doesn't matter who shot first anyways. Greedo was shot dead either way.

It is not at all redundant and even to call it improper or colloquial would be pushing it.

It is. "Irregardless" means the same thing as "Regardless."

incorrect. It is semantics, but there is a difference. he has actually used the word wrong there due to the fact that the prefix (ir) is a negative which combined wiht the negative regardless creates a double negative thus making it mean it actually should be considered, however despite the literal interpretation of the word the fact that it is nonstandard while still in common use with its technically incorrect definition means that it is an acceptable word.

The same can be said for any nonstandard word when there is a academically acceptable "official" word that could be used in its place.

Correct. That is why "nonstandard" words are incorrect.

it is not that they are incorrect, it is merely that they are considered by certain parties to be inferior to the often sesquipedalian "correct" alternatives.
