  1. D the damage is irreparable


  2. Irregardless is a word, albeit informal.

    I'd say C, only because the meaning is a little ambiguous. Is it an aside - 'Hey, this is just between us, alright?' kind of meaning, or is it: 'Out of us two, I think I will be the one that will win'. It's not obvious, and as a result I would say C.

  3. a - regardless

  4. And in c. I suggest that you drop the word two, & just say "Between us, or strictly between us,"

    .

  5. A- there is no such word as Irregardless

    even tho people use it all the time.

    the word is ..regardless

    Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.
