Most people misspell "a lot" as one word [alot] but it's incorrect - it's two separate words: "a lot" - much like "a little" not "alittle". Beire-dei was an English teacher. Bad grammar gets to her.
Just like many get "its" mixed up with "it's".
"It's" is a contraction for "it is" - e.g. "It's" cold outside.
"Its" is a possesive pronoun - e.g The cat ate "its" food.
English lesson for the day. My nerves are still bad & the bathroom calls.
