Joining words

[Bluevelvetsofa]

This morning, in one post, I’ve seen ‘afew’, ‘abit’ and ‘alot’

Surely people realise that these are separate words.

Noooooooooo!

Yes!
Everyday means boring, pedestrian!

Tbh, most people I know for whom English is not their first language, read, write and speak it better than many native English speakers

@quisensoucie , some do. I find that those who have studied English do.
Those who have acquired it from immersion tend not to.

@PedantScorner I would like to add: the defensiveness with which correction is usually received ('maybe she's dyslexic,' 'it's not relevant to correct his grammar,' etc). It seems to be seen as aggressive or passive aggressive to point out incorrect spellings. Except, oddly, on Reddit, where I have only ever seen correction received graciously.

At work I was often asked if someone could make a pointment.
