"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.

<<I wish Opal would stop using the FR/LG sprites in IPA... they're done in a completely different style that's not even as good as the R/S/E sprites and it drives me crazy to see FR/LG Kanto Pokemon sprites mixed with Johto and Hoenn Pokemon that only have R/S/E style sprites.
I just typed that, didn't I? Oh crap.>>
