<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many years ago, at the tender age of 14, I had an English teacher who made it his mission in life for his students to learn that <i>a lot</i> was actually two words not one. I can't say what led to his over exuberance of this particular subject, but I can say that it did make an impact on me. However, I realize that people still have trouble with these two little words. I see it misused all the time on twitter, facebook, emails, etc. So if this is a problem for you, don't lose heart. You're not alone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's start off with the definition of <i>lot</i>, according to <i>Merriam-Webster</i>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">lot </span></i></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
noun \ˈlät\</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a considerable quantity or extent </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</b></span><div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ex: I have a lot of homework.</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">a</span></i> in front of lot is an article that works as an adjective. It in no way is part of the word. Just think, you wouldn't say <i>alittle</i> or <i>abunch</i>. You would automatically know that wasn't right. But just as <i>little</i> and <i>bunch</i> are words that measure the quantity of something, so does lot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you still have trouble remember, <a href="http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html">Hyperbole and a Half</a> has a great illustration that is hilarious and informative. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you think of the new look? If you've not stopped by in a while you might notice that things look a little different around here. I have Kristen Brock to thank for that. She's been working with me to help improve LGE's website. The old one was very boring. I was bored with it, and I know anyone looking at the site must have been bored with it also. I've also deleted a bunch of stuff, but that will change shortly. Please bear with me as we make changes to LGE. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Also if you like the design you see here, click on Kristen's button and it will take you to her website. </span>Marciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05779724880172679971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066800790361329724.post-33941930755182429262015-04-22T21:40:00.000-05:002015-04-22T21:40:07.412-05:00Is it toward or towards?<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I come across the wrong use of toward/towards every so often. It's one of those words that seems to confuse a lot of people. What's the big deal, and what is the difference? The words mean the same thing. The difference is that toward is the preferred form in America and Canada while towards is preferred in England. This rule applies to other directional words as well--upward, downward, backward, etc. To sum up, if you live in the US, it's best to leave off the -s. If you live outside the US, go ahead and keep the -s.</span>Marciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05779724880172679971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066800790361329724.post-61848874917319163192015-04-02T14:52:00.000-05:002015-04-22T18:08:23.106-05:00<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
