Use regardless instead." And this: Quote Irregardless means the same as regardless, but the negative prefix ir- merely duplicates the suffix -less, and is unnecessary. The word dates back to the 19th century, but is regarded as incorrect in standard English https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/irregardless

June 27, 20187 yr "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less." Although during one of the World Cup matches yesterday I pointed out to someone else bothered by that phrase that the words "could care less" can go together and be correct with the same meaning. One of the commentators noted that two teams playing in one of the matches didn't care about the result, so he said "neither team could care less" about the result. That is actually the correct way to say it.

June 27, 20187 yr My wife's East Texas family uses "might could have." For the most part it's been educated out of my wife, but she drops it occasionally.
June 27, 20187 yr Disrespected as an active verb. I was perfectly fine with "dissed" as a slangy version of same, but spelling/speaking it out annoys me tremendously. It is semi-legitimate, but I don't like it.

That is actually the correct way to say it. Of course it's the correct way to say it. "Neither" takes the place of the typically contracted "not," providing the required negative to convey proper meaning. One could also say "No one could care less than I do," and this would also be a correct way to say "I couldn't care less." As long as there is a negative in there somewhere, it works.
