"Alot" of exasperation.

Time for a grammar lesson.  This is mostly motivated by my students, but also sort of motivated by adults that I know.

"a lot":  two words, not one.

Incorrect: I like this alot more.

Correct:  I like this a lot more.

Click here for more (hilarious) explanation.

That is all.  Happy Wednesday.

  2. Proper grammar. Who has the time anymore? I know "alot" means "a lot". That's the most important thing. The alot's eyes are spaced way too far apart as well, haha.
