I wonder weather he sleeps on that... it looks like a king size...

Weather or not this word is accepted as official or not there is certainly no shortage of people using it.
I can understand how this would frustrate you, but I (and probably many others) didn't even know it was not a real word.

But they do add new words to the dictionary every year

Try dropping a few of these into your casual conversation...

"Unfortunately" the Queen's English is not a mandate on society for the purposes of everyday talk...but i will try to refrain from using this non word when typing from now on...

........And don't worry my apostrophes are under control .

Mine aren't, I'd need a lead to control them, they're always wandering off on their own.

Just as an aside, there are three ways to spell weather ....

Weather - As "It's a nice day today".
Whether - As in "whether or not".
Wether - "A castrated ram"

When I found out the last one, I became a little more careful with my spelling.

In the case of alot it ate the space.
