It's two words, people!
People wonder why I can't spell. "A teacher?" they say, "you should be GREAT at spelling!" Well, try marking grade nine students' essays for 8 years and tell me how good you are! I tell ya, I spell like a 14 year old who does not know how to proof read.
The most common spelling mistake that I come across that irritates me the most:
alot
THAT'S NOT A WORD, FOLKS!
It's two words, two words dammit! A LOT
Unless you are allotting someone a piece of land...

Oh my god. I've found my soul mate. I'm just about to take my teaching certificate and make it official, and I've vowed that the first class I ever teach, be it English, math, or phys ed even, I will write on the board "a lot is two words."
Heck, I've given grammar lessons to my cheerleaders.
