“Alright” is not a word either but so many people, including those who should know better, use it.

There there is “can’t help but” and so many others. So I’d better not go on. Heh heh.

Doesn’t the comma goes inside the quotation mark?

Trying to determine if this is a worse pet peeve than the self-appointed “capitalization nazi” that pops up on “alot” of threads.

Minus well go ahead and correct alot of other errors too.
