@Juan_Welding Disregard can be seen as a more formal way to say ‘ignore.’ If you were emailing a superior, you might say:
‘Please disregard my last email, as I no longer need assistance’
However, if you were talking to a friend, you might say:
‘Just ignore my text, I don’t need help anymore’
In reality they’re fairly interchangeable, but disregard is a more advanced word.
Also important to note: Ignore can sometimes have a bad connotation, whereas disregard has a more neutral connotation.
I know this was a lot; I hope it helped!
