: Without context alot is just as correct as a lot.
: With a context like "My girlfriend sucked 37 dicks, and I think that is a lot" then I would have chosen the two word "a lot".
: After finishing the test I would have gone back to change it, but when I answered it (near the top) I thought maybe it was a trick question.
: Anyways, I got 12 wrong. Well thats if you include the above. I say I got 11 wrong. Also I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were the difference of Canadian/American (well at least the one he talked about, of which I don't know which one it is, but I bet I had it.)
I remember being taught that in no uncertain terms, back in my school days - alot is absolutely not a word.
I think.
