Rodger 527 Posted March 24, 2009 . Taught me that alot is not a correct word . Allot means to distribute . I have used alot as " many " .. alot of things Jenny is right about . It is going to be hard not to use " alot " ... what is the best replacement besides many Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted March 24, 2009 alot should be 'a lot'. 2 separate words. There is no such word as alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted March 24, 2009 alot should be 'a lot'. 2 separate words. There is no such word as alot. In street terms alot & a lot carries the meaning I use it for . According to the dictionary , alot isn't a word & a lot carries a different meaning than what i have used it for all of my life .. edit ; ' much " seems to carry the closest meaning .

haumana 1,221 Posted March 24, 2009 choke that's the local slang replacement (i.e. "Wow, that guy has choke decals!") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted March 24, 2009 I won't be using that . There are MANY slang terms that for lack of a better term too " GHETTO " for me . I will probably keep using alot as it seems many know what it means & use it . We will just be ahead of our time . Maybe It will become a proper word like so many slang words have already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
