Don't mean to be the grammar police or sidetrack the vibe of this fun thread, but, reading this post reminded me of a little ditty I learned years ago.

Alot
is not
a word.

Kinda like the more familiar one: "ain't" ain't a word." (Although I hear tell a number of dictionaries have begun to include it, even if just to say it's wrong speak.)

There is also no such word as irregardless- even if my dumb iPhone came up with it as a real word!

I'm so old I remember when we still farmed with horses.

Many in Newfoundland still use horses for skidding logs, doing hay….

Oh boy this must be language lesson night! Just chatting about the right colourful Newfoundlander language on another thread - I would share some but I see we do have youngsters here - when I say colourful I do mean colourful

Irregardless is a word and has the same definition as regardless.

Irregardless was popularized in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its increasingly widespread spoken use called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.
