Seriously, the way "a lot" is used it should be one word. It's probably the most common spelling mistake ever. Why not just add it to the dictionary and call it a day?Why is it taking so long for "alot" to be added to the dictionary?
We do not say "alittle", "afew" at all. While "a lot" is often misspelled as "alot", it is still not valid within the rules of grammar nor spelling.
"Alot" has never been a word. "A lot" is the correct spelling. Yahoo's spell checker is getting mad at me right now just for using "alot." "Allot" is a word but means something completely different from "a lot."Why is it taking so long for "alot" to be added to the dictionary?
I think I better question would be: Why aren't more people correcting those who make this mistake and why is it that nobody cares about spelling and grammar any more?
Maybe the people that work so hard on the dictionary never thought f that, or maybe no one suggested it to them!
But I don't know! Why don't you ask them!Why is it taking so long for "alot" to be added to the dictionary?
Most people still speak a lot, rather than alot.
NOOOOOOOOO I WOULD HAVE TO EITHER KILL MYSELF OR START SPEAKING SPANISH
English is crazy.
GET OVER IT.
