"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

{{On the Captain SNES forums I'm known as Threepwood. But I don't really post there anymore, I just go there to see the discussions, or to check if you are actually there. And in that case I gues it makes sense that I don't remember you, as you would have joined a few months after I went away.}}

<<I know, I know, I haven't had time! I thought I mentioned the three not-something-to-scoff-at projects assigned and due on the same day! And on top of that I haven't finished reading my Rurouni Kenshin Manga, I'm still in year one in Harvest Moon DS, and I've only been on three rescue missions in Mystery Dungeon!>>
