Speaking of spell check......

[pistolp71]

It is spelled A LOT. Two words. Not ALOT. I see it constantly on here. Not that I'm the spelling police but thought some would actually want to know the right way to spell it.

1. Allot is a verb that means to distribute, to assign a portion, or to divide.
   Example: The instructor allotted me 20 minutes to take the test.
   Example: They allotted six square feet per family.
   
2. Alot means nothing because it is not a word in the English language and therefore should not to be used.
   
3. A lot (two words) is an informal phrase meaning a large portion or large quantity of something. According to what I read it is proper to use “a lot” when describing non-countable quantities such as water, sand, ice, or time. The word “many” should be used when describing countable items such as hours, people, or books. I doubt I will be able to change my usage, “He has many books” does not carry the same meaning to me as “He has a lot of books”.
   Example: A lot of water has passed under the bridge.
   Example: I don’t have a lot of time to make amends.
   

I remember having an English teacher that had this pet peeve. Her other one was the use of may and can.

I found the above on the weband actually ALOT does have a meaning. It is a town in India. So if you said "I like hunting Alot" it could actually be correct...lol
