Well, “alot” truly is NOT in the dictionary, but most dictionaries recognize the informal usage of “alright.”

Did you know that if you look up the word ‘redundant’ in the dictionary, it says ‘see: redundant’?

[sam_paine]

aw crap. Missed an opportunity to use they’re/their. Darn.

[TChris]

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

Oh, come on! I've GOT to win the coveted Pet Peeve award!

Alot is a word. I just typed it and now I'm reading it back. I do that alot. Alot of dictionaries are obsolete before they're even published.

I get the urge alot of times to post vanities but I resist the urge. Believe me it happens alot.

[Alter Kaker]

No, but allot is.

[denydenydeny]

Sad to say, I hardly notice it anymore as an error, which is a danger sign that it’s actually entering legitimate usage. *shudder*

[TChris]

Its a problem, but there gonna use it weather you like it or not.

[Born Freep]

Yes...I feel the same way about “anyways”. It annoys the “heck” out of me.

[justlurking]
