Such as applying it to a whole person, rather than that person’s knowledge of a particular subject? Yeah, that hacks me off a bit also.

Maybe mention that “regardful” would be better used in the sentence?

Indeed. Also, when they use it as a synonym for: discriminatory, racist, stupid, mean.

If they do both in the same usage, it drives me nuts.

It’s supposed to mean lacking in knowledge or ininformed. Not a catch all negative adjective.

I hate when people make up words, like ininformed.
