it's 'a lot' not 'alot'

now I've written it down here, the temptation to add it to several other threads will die down (I hope) ....

in a similar vain - what is right "incase" or "in case". Or, indeed, "infront" + no preposition or "in front of"? The former(s) bother me a great deal, but my brain has no grammatical rule to hang its botheration on.

Don't think I've ever seen 'in case' as one word. Or 'in front' without being followed by 'of'.

Maybe I've just led a very sheltered life ...

Are they not just typos? Easily done. And OMG, as it's pedants' corner - "vein"?

""According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, each year an incredible 200,000 people are emitted to hospital because of DIY accidents.""

I hope the vent helped.

I've read so many posts with 'alot' that when I read one with an 'a lot' I found myself thinking that it didn't look right.

My brain is being broken and I'll end up forgetting what 'lose' means as I never see these days.
