Irrelevent, how?
See, now, this is just what I've been waiting for since the beginning of this thread. Our little friend here who cares so much about "correct" spelling and grammar has fouled up our beautiful language by using an absolutely incorrect spelling, ignorant of the etymology of the word.
It's "irrelevant". In all English varieties.

P.S.
That stuff I said about fouling up our beautiful language was a joke.
maybe he meant to say "irreverent" - it fits the context just as well!

jesus your so funny. I know spelt it wrong, but I can't be arsed to delete every single typo, this isn't copy. you might be amused to hear that my job is correcting people's spelling mistakes, but I'm not so petullant (do you like that one?!) as to currect your's (and yes, I put the apostrophe there on purpose).

I'm well aware that correcting typos is usually contrary to good netiquette, but I'm willing to make an exception for someone whose version of the language is elevated to high pomposity.
