Spelling Lesson for Grammarians

I try not to be a grammarian or spellarian myself. It's not easy to resist the temptation to teach someone but I know most people won't feel that way about it. Most people see it as being corrected, not taught. That makes it easier to resist telling them to fix their spelling. But, one thing I often notice is how often the grammarian's spell a lot as one word. It's not. Alot is not a word. It's actually two words all too often combined. Alot is not a compound word, it's just wrong, bad spelling but easily fixed. So, if you tend to give in to your urge to teach spelling remember not to make this simple mistake yourself. Just a note for the day to the grammarians out there. Of course, it's my chance to teach spelling too. Hard to pass that up.
