Thanks for the correction. I'm usually pretty good with words, but for some reason, I constantly write "alot"... spell check keeps correcting me, and I keep fighting it!
BTW, if you're going to go to the dark side, you might want to go all the way, with "lotsa!" As in, "Gimme lotsa hugs! Now!"
My pet peeve... and I hope I don't offend anyone here... I see people writing "weary" (instead of "wary") all the time. I thought, maybe, it was a cultural thing at first... but after poking around, I now think that people are just confused.
Like this... "I was weary of his motives."
Nope! You might be weary of dealing with his bad behavior over decades, and I'm certainly weary of entering my time for work in 17 different systems every week for work (oh, so weary!)... but you're probably WARY of his motives. As in... aware and beware.
weary = tired, exhausted
wary = watchful, cautious, suspicious

My pet peeve. Thanks for letting me put it out there!
