Please use "a lot", since those words are actually in the dictionary.

I’ll tell you a pet peeve of mine.

When people mean “lose” and say “loose”. That annoys me to no end!

Amen to that. I don't mind most misspellings, but I can't seem to get past this one. I can deal with "2 cool 2 b 4gotn" but "It's a bad thing to loose your mind" makes me crazy!

Alot is what you find along a long road, a lot.

LOL, I found it amusing that a breaking news thread, started to point out a “grammar” mistake which is actually a spelling mistake, contained a “grammar” mistake of its own.

At least the court proceedings would be abbreviated and punctual.

Quoted expressions are amusingly ambiguous.

Meaning I. "Take this literally."

Meaning II. "Don't take this literally."

It literally blows me away.

I'm havin' fun! I'm probably the worstest speller on FR. :)

The freepin' spell checkers all ran away when I joined up....and there were thousands of them.

When I finish my book, I'll have to sell it first to pay all the editors.
