A 7th grade student I taught many years ago gave a book report and listed among the characters Lance Alot.

Aww, I'll bet Lance Alot is adorable. I can just see one of those fuzzy critters in a suit of armor.

One of my grammar pet peeves. Along with its/it's, their/they're/there confusion, and the like. . . But the alot does look cute and fuzzy. . . are they gentle?

No! They are very dangerous! See the example with the baby.
That whole blog is hilarious. Make sure you read the one about how a fish nearly ruined her life.

Brilliant. One of the best things I've read in along time!
Bad joke, but I couldn't resist.

Holy crap. I clicked on this thread two hours ago and have been browsing that blog since! She is hilarious! Tomorrow when I'm not too tired to see straight, I'm definitely adding her to my own bloglist. I like her style. Alot!
Had to join the fun....

I also enjoy The Oatmeal... they've got a segment on commonly misspelled words: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling (including "alot") and also a nice one on apostrophe usage: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/apostrophe

Thanks for posting the apostrophe link, english is my second language and I know I haven't been using the possessive form correctly with plurals. Originally Posted by mgobluegirl

I hope someday she does a post on "free reign," another one of my pet peeves. I'll bet she could have a lot of fun with that one. Originally Posted by SoNaoWat?

ETA: Oh, and also "pour over" for "pore over." That's a recent one that's really been getting on my nerves.Last edited by Wyliefan; 04-19-2010 at 03:07 PM.
