Alot is not a word.
The spellcheck recognises this and corrects it. Strangely it still appears in some posts on this and other message boards indicating the writer has overridden the correction.
merging as and well to create "aswell" is a classic exampleActually language is changing all the time with new words entering the lexicon and other older words leaving common usage. But that doesn't change the general rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation. Spelling of words tends to remain static once in use also.
But then you place your order and it's "too easy"
Absolutely nothing. I prefer fewer, but it's a relatively modern affectation.
Mine underlines alot in red but does not auto correct. Auto correct is often not correct anyway, a lot.
