Take it from an actual stagehand, it's front of house irregardless of venue. I'm sure there are different names but if you work in the industry, that's front of house.

*regardless *irrespective

Pick one.

I hate it too, but irregardless has officially been a word in dictionaries for years now.

Please stop that…

???

Irregardless…

Typing it out I was thinking, wait... I did clarify that I'm a stagehand though. I'm prone to some grammatical mistakes.

It's not actually a mistake. It's a word that has been in use for 200+ years with its first recorded use in 1795. It's controversial, but it appears in dictionaries and is a synonym for regardless. Love it or hate it language changes with time and when enough people use a word it becomes a part of the language.

It is a double negative so it depends on the venue is what he means.

/s just in case.

Please stop that…

Not finishing your sentence is almost as great a sin.

But that’s a complete sentence

What are they to stop?

I recognize that others have filled the void and answered, but to answer you: what are they to stop?

This is hilarious 🤣. I'm laughing my ass off right now, irregardless of how frustrated you guys may be.
