Alot is not a word, it is ‘a lot’!

I’m not sure if I’m getting old, or it’s the grammar nazi in me, but please stop using ‘alot’ people! It is two words - ‘a lot’.

Stay tuned for next week’s revelation where we learn that plurals don’t have apostrophes /shock/.

I don’t use it alot!!!!!

This thread’s gonna make NBG a bit jelly, I reckon!!!!!

“Ya” is not an abbreviation for “your”!

“There” is used in the context, “over there” or “there she is”. “They’re” means “they are”. “Their” is used in the context, “their house is big”.

It feels good to get that off my chest!

I can’t wait for next week’s (<—- possessive apostrophe) lesson.

AJ, I love you.

Its funny that “a lot” of people don’t know the difference between, Your, You’re, Where, Were, We’re, There, They’re and Their as J posted..

Even words like through, threw, presents and presence some people get mixed up.. Wow!

Its going to be super amusing to see the next generation “generation stupid” come up through the ranks with the world of spell check auto correct and technology in general ruining their lives and education….

I’ve double checked my grammar in this post just so i don’t get shat on by other BW members! Haha! Take “your” best shot!

However im guilty of “alot”

This!!!! It drives me insane. Check this out: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com.au/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html?m=1
It’s hilarious! I actually showed it at a staff meeting a few weeks ago
