|  Is it spelled "alot" or "a lot" ? | Termpaper Boy Sep 6, 2002 1:10 PM | | |
|  Please tell me this is a joke. . . . | JL Sep 6, 2002 1:19 PM | | It is spelled "a lot." |
|  If he's worried about the spelling, | lidarman Sep 6, 2002 1:34 PM | | he really shouldn't be using it. "A lot" really means, A group of something such as a plot of land or a group of manufactured items. The common usage to describe a large quantity is slang and other words should be used instead. |
