4997 is so close...
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

5001 shouts "YAY!" and releases the confetti and turns on the music.

Isn't it great? As a team, we can count to 5,000 and only kind of totally screwed it up!

5010 was wondering if the 5000th poster was going to get bonus points, but Josiah jossed that.

You're a few posts late for that.

As the person to make the 5000th post, I get 5000 KotF points, guarenteeing my victory! Just kidding. :-P But there'll be bonus points for making some of the last few posts.

Actually, I wasn't trying for the 5000th post per say. I got ninjaed like 8 times trying to make a post and, when it finally went through, it was 5000.
