Can someone tell me WHY loads of people insist on using the word a lot when there is no word a lot???
Also why do people keep using the word "Then"when they are supposed to write "Than"?
What does "more then" mean?
What does "a lot"mean?
Just interestid..............I mean interested:confused:
 
of course there is a word called a lot...

There is a lot of Zulu's over that there hill...

There are a lot of users that need help....

See, easy to use and easy to understand ....

As English is a living lanuage, it changes with new meanings and words added and replaced.... how it works i think. Plus, some people, like myself, cant spell or use grammer to save their lifes :)

It isn't a word.

"A" is a word and "lot" is a word.
 
Some people are rubbish at English, but can be very good at other things.
Just because your good at English, does that mean your as good as someone else in a diffrent area?

Fixed, obviously it isn't that easy to use or you'd have used it correctly.
 
so it should be - there are a lot of zulu's and not a lot of Zulu's then.....

arrr - guess tis how we up north say a lot - as in one word, no gap between it, so we say a lot and not a lot...

I see what you're saying, but this isn't simple English skills, this is being oblivious to the meaning of something which I imagine can cause many problems outside of communication.
