Where and when did I wrote 'alot is a word'? Show me the place and
I will eat my hat.

What I was pointing at was that there are many real words that are much
less frequent used on the net than 'alot'. 8.6 million hits is a lot.
Pencil makes 9 milion hits, moron makes 2 million, bore 6.7 million,
even Sheldon makes less hits than 'alot', although I am not sure
whether 'Sheldon' is a word. But then English is my second language.

Best,
Borek
