Use 'regardless' with preposition 'of' #324

Closed victoryforce closed 3 years ago

victoryforce commented 3 years ago

"regardless" is commonly used with the preposition "of", and one can say that this is a general rule.

The fact is that sentences that omit the preposition after 'regardless' (in our case 'regardless which' vs 'regardless of which') are extremely rare: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=regardless+of+which%2Cregardless+which&year_start=1880&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cregardless%20of%20which%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cregardless%20which%3B%2Cc0
