    Default What is an alot?

    What is an alot? I can’t find it in the dictionary. My Chambers
    Dictionary lists “aloof”, then “alopecia” and “aloud” but not “alot”.
    Possibly it should be an allot? No, that can’t be right either, allot
    isn’t a noun, it’s a verb. Ah, I’ve got it! It’s two words..............

    Alot is in wikipedia.

    If you have a lot of something it is incorrect to write "alot". If you want to distribute your stuff you can "allot" it to others as it means to assign or distribute.

    According to PickaPedia.

    The part, or fate, that falls to one, as it were, by chance, or without his planning.

    " My lot in life. "

    Is closer to the dutch meaning then "destiny." actually

    Only 2? Ben je van lotje getikt?
