The Alot is better than you!!!

[Ambrosia76]

I am sorry. I am the grammar police. I have seen this several times lately and it racks my nerves. Alot is NOT a word, so I thought I would share this page.

ALOT

While we're pimping web comics that correct grammar issues: Comics :: Grammar - The Oatmeal

I prefer 'Alottle'

The word 'a lot' and 'a little' combined together, meaning 'a little bit more than alot'.

I.e. "they love each other alottle."

Cheers

"irregardless" is so widely misused that it has almost become a correct and acceptable word

Yes sir!
I didn't know anyone in Georgia knew proper grammar. Well, when I was raised there.

I use alot alot. it makes me angry when I write it an the spell checker underlines it. I don't use the "add it to the dictionary" thing though because If I'm writing something important, I want to fix it.

irregardless is in my spell checkers dictionary so I can use it ;D

Ogden Nash coined that one, I believe:

Shake, O shake the ketchup bottle,
First non'll come, and then alottle

Just like today's songwriters - as long as it rhymes it's a word - grrrrr!

To lazy to write "a lot'll"

Alot is a word!! ...I'll use it in a sentence: "Ginormous is alot more than humongous."
