ALOT is MIA

Very few folks actually know "a lot" is two words. I try to never correct grammar because I often slip up; maybe you will take it as a helpful tip. Sorry, I've been out of the classroom too long: The teacher in me is coming out. Maybe I will post a tip or two of common mistakes on Tuesdays. Would that be bitchy?

  1. LMAO I love it! I'm forever correcting grammar; it's the teacher in me, too. Though, I often do use that, as if it is an actual word.

  7. Kathy Lee drives me nuts so I stopped watching when she joined the crew. Eww, didn't like her with Regis and don't like her now.

    I am playing along this week for the first time.

  9. That would be FANTASTIC. I'm such a Grammar Nazi. I swear I almost corrected the checker at the market the other day. Yeah, I barely held it in.

  11. The misuse of "a lot" is a huge pet peeve of mine, too. I'm all for Tuesday Lessons!! Please find time to school everyone on the correct use of too/to (why is this so difficult?!) and also they're/there/their.

    Thanks for finding my blog, looking forward to following you, too!

  17. It drives me crazy that "alot" isn't a word! esp since the meaning of "a lot" is so different from "lot". Time to give in and evolve :P

    I wish someone had warned me about Activia....I didn't quite get the concept until I tried it. Aiyaiyai!
