Regardless

If I asked the members of this forum two questions and then said: 'regardless of your answer can you please provide me an example' Did I use the word 'regardless' in the correct context?

Hi, An example of what? It sounds like you are asking for an example that may have no relevance to my answer. Is that what you want?

Hi,





An example of what?


It sounds like you are asking for an example that may have no relevance to my answer. Is that what you want? I don't understand.



In addition, two questions have two answers, not just one.

Does it make sense to use the word 'regardless' in the following sentence:

'Regardless of your answer can you please provide me an example.'

Hi,

As I tried to explain, I don't clearly understand your meaning.

Do you mean that you don't care about the person's answer?

What if the person's answer is 'I don't understand your question?'

Why don't you just say 'Please provide me (with) an example'?

I intended to say 'whatever your answer is going to be can you please provide me an example', and I used the word 'regardless', but I guess using the word regardless would change the sentence into 'I don't care about your answer'?

Hi,

That's how I see it. Is there some other way to interpret it?

I guess you want to say : Regardless of the answers you might give to my questions, please support them with some examples!

But still your statement is ambiguous due the interference between the two languages you use.



I think you can say : " I encourage some examles with your answers whether you agree with my viewpoint or not".



I hope that I got
