You’ll Like This Grammar Lesson Alot :)
April 23, 2010
Yes, I really mean “alot” and not “a lot.” As the website Hyperbole and a Half explains:
The Alot is an imaginary creature that I made up to help me deal with my compulsive need to correct other people’s grammar. It kind of looks like a cross between a bear, a yak and a pug, and it has provided hours of entertainment for me in a situation where I’d normally be left feeling angry and disillusioned with the world.
If you have students making the dreaded alot spelling error, this imaginary creature is bound to be a memorable solution. Besides, who wouldn’t love this cute creature alot!
