Haha! My former English teacher uses that website for assignments! :o She clicks on "Listen to the Story" and then we have to take notes. She asks us questions to see how good we are at hearing and understanding English. Funny to see the website back!
Great article btw! The commas are still an issue for me, but all the rest is a pet peeve to me as well.

What the right way to spell and use... A lot? Allot? Alot?
Rose:
a lot
julilly:
A lot, meaning a great deal. Think of it this way, the opposite of a lot would be a little. You wouldn't say alittle.
Of course, a lot could also be used in the context of "A lot of five computers" lot meaning a set of objects.
Allot is a completely different word. You allot an object, it's a verb. "I will allot 10 minutes for my speech."
