I see this one all the time, and it drives me nuts. It’s also a very easy mistake to avoid, with a simple memory trick.

A lot is always two words, never alot.

To help you remember, you would never write alittle, so never write alot.

Easy, right?

    “alittle”, that’s a great way to remember! Thanks for the tip.

    Excellent! I’ll have to remember to pass that on. I can’t handle when people write alot instead of a lot. Thanks!
