Dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive. "Nonwords" become words all the time.

 

But you'll be sure to bypass the Grammar Police and keep your editors happy (if you have them) by using regardless instead.

It's funny because proper grammar is something that triggers people and brings up a lot of grade school trauma. But it's nowhere near as bad as being triggered by expectations of doing basic math problems in your head. I've seen people go off at the mere suggestion that they be able to calculate something simple like they've been bullied all their life and now it's time to lash out lol.

 

There's actually a whole area of psychology called "Mathematical anxiety" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_anxiety
