The English language is seriously butchered, today. There are many commonly used words, and phrases, that make no sense, or are made up.
Here is one that makes me cringe:
Irregardless. This is a made up word, that seems to combine "Regardless", and "Irrespective".

Use of the tortured verb "addicting" instead of the adjective "addictive."

Fremulent.

proficient

Frenemy

yall

But it should be. English could use a second person singluar/plural distinction.

There is.
"y'all" is singular, "all y'all" is plural.

You being a Northerner, probably don't know this is a contraction of "you all". But it should be y'all, with the apostrophe.

For all y'all Yankees, freezing your butts off right now.
"Yous Guys". What's up with that?

This is a real word.

“Gonna” and “wanna” are not.

The "Ir" and "less knock themselves out.

I'm getting tired of "I'm going to totally do that".

All words are made up

And then there's the Pittsburgh variant of that: yinz.

Hard to apply rules to a "non-word." In my quest to get the word established in proper English lexio-graffy, I would be willing to forego the apostrophe in light of common practice of dropping punctuation in text messages, etc.

in my world,they are regarded as slang..

Webster says they're real

gonna
gon·na | \ ˈgə-nə , gə-nə \
Definition of gonna
—used for "going to" in informal speech and in representations of such speech"It's not gonna be easy.""They're gonna get married in July.""I felt like something bad was gonna happen."


Just sayin'

The Queen disapproves.

"Fixin' to" with the meaning of "gonna".
