Thanks a Lot
One of my peeves is when native speakers write thanks a lot as 'thanks alot'. There is no such word as alot. There is a word 'allot'. But that means to 'give' or 'apportion' something. A lot, which is really not grammatically correct, means a great deal. My mentees in Malaysia learned this grammar rule and applied it perfectly in the plaque they gave me in thanks for the teacher professional development courses we held regularly.
