But, these are not synonyms, right? Infamy is some sort of tainted fame, right, as in being famous for the "wrong" reasons? Just checking my own recollection of these words. Irregardless is just not a real word, right? And, in the vernacular, it is synoymous with regardless.
Yeah if you need to be that literal and not read my mind
I was thinking of the usage where someone thinks adding a prefix to a word makes it somehow more special or a better word. People I know who misuse infamous either think it means "more famous" or it refers to a special kind of fame that is not necessarily negative.
