"Irregardless" is not a valid word.  Were it such, it would amount to
a double negative, with the "ir" on the front cancelling the effect of
the "less" on the back, resulting in "regard", which in this context
would be better rendered "regardful".  

The proper word is "regardless".  A Harvard grad should know such
things, and since you are still an undergrad, better you should learn
it here than from a professor: I will not take off points and lower a
grade because of it.  :)

While I certainly agree with you that John must have had an education,
seeing that his father was a priest, I do not know of any place in the
scriptures that indicates that John himself wrote down "all the stuff
that he did".  If I missed that somewhere, please give me the
citation.
