But your sentence doesn't. It is definitely incorrect to use alot for the words, a lot. :p

"a lot" is a measure of land or a discription of land. Many would be a much better choice.

Description is spelled with an e.

pwned :(

fallenhero, that made my day. you called pwned on yourself. buwahahha

"alot" is not a word. "a lot" is perfectly acceptable.

just a comment.

reading stuff on message board makes people stupid, imo. there are people who make a bunch of grammar and spelling errors. the more we read them, the more we make those mistakes.

Yeah, I've noticed that after about 10 years of correcting papers, English teachers revert back to the abilities of 6th graders.
