From that link: "...it is a form that many people mistakenly believe to be a correct usage in formal style but that in fact has no legitimate antecedents in either standard or nonstandard varieties." It is a word simply because people use it. However, people SHOULD be corrected to say "regardless" when they use it as "irregardless" is grammatically incorrect. Likewise, when people use "ain't", they should be corrected to use "am not". I guess AMN'T is more accurate, but not usable either. :)
