It's two freaking words! A(spacebar)Lot. looks like this: "A lot."
Simple?

NO!

alot <--what is that? A freaking runon! Use the damn spacebar you English failure! It's the long key between Alt and Alt with nothing written on it. My God, don't let the internet be an excuse to discard grammar!

Unless English is a second language to you, and even then, now you know.

Thanks, Cargile! Thanks alot!

P.S.: Despite the kidding, I agree, though perhaps not to the veins-bulging-in-my-forehead degree.

However, in the lyrics to "Camelot" it's definitely spelt 'alot.' 8P

Really there's a long button button between my "Alt" and "Alt" key, thanks Cargile I didn't know that, thanks alot . Well, yes I knew "a lot" is a word and "alot" isn't, but well if every grammer error on the net pissed me off I would have a heart attack (plus people who start proofreading my posts and I would really be in trouble.
