It's not "alot"!

Pet peeve #1 - "alot" I don't know why these two words came to be connected.  If I could catch the first person that ever combined them I'd make sure that he/she never had any kids to pass this blunder on, though I'm sure there are already plenty of nincompoops running around already.  Folks, it's always going to be "a lot." Two words. Nothing else. Nada. Think it this way: Would you write this way? "I am going to buy alittle steak for supper tonight.  Of course not! It's "a little." So then it's always going to be "a lot."
