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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I've never heard of "low country boil", but we have crawfish boils ALL the time in March slash April slash May! YUUUUUUM!

    Don't get any ideas though...I don't suck the heads. *gag*

    Also, those activia commercials are something else.

    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!
