Fine-Tuning 3, Every Day/Everyday

Well, it's a crux with the difference between adverbs and adjectives - not only in English!

One way versus oneway?

Yup, Walter, and yup, New Haven.

Wy, I agree. "A lot" is hanging on by its finger nails. This kind of thing gives me a stomachache--but that's a different thread.

Sorta like Wal-Mart ads. They have everyday low prices every day (or so they say! )

Is there such a word as "alot"? I am not sure. There are words "to allot" (meaning "to distribute, to ration, to give") and "a lot (of)" (meaning sufficient quantity), but not "alot". Well, I may be wrong, I am not an American.

Roberta:

When I was in school, I never liked English grammar. With you as our teacher, I'm slowly starting to like it!

Phoenix, I've never been to a Wal-mart. There aren't any in my neck of the woods, so I can only go by what I see in the commercials.

Steissd, A lot is not a word. Unfortunately, it is often thought to be by many Americans. Also unfortunately, I'm seeing it more and more frequently. It is now and, as far as I'm concerned, always will be two words. Thanks a lot for posting.

New Haven, Aw shucks. Thank you for your very kind words. I appreciate it.
