I just read 5 different people use the word "alot" in the past hour - and I am about to spit fire. Gaaaaahhh!!! For heaven's sake!!!
There. Is. No. Such. Word. It's "
a (space) lot," it's a phrase, (not a word) that denotes more than one of anything. OR, it could be used to talk about an actual plot of land. Either way, remember:
Of course, it could be a misspelled version of "allot" which means to give a portion of something. But using context clues, those people didn't mean that what they wrote (*shudder*) "alot."
OK?!?! OK!!!
Gaaaaaaahhh!!!
*pant-pant-pant*
