Has anyone noticed Mitt Romney's smirk? (thought, Reagan, illegal, Republican)

[firemed]

Rommney's arrogance is way to big to fit in a voting booth. He reminds me of Donald Trump but with a better hair cut! An arrogant mormon? one has to be fake! isn't that an oxymoron?

Allot is a word but not in the context you wrote it. The words you meant and should have used are "a lot".

Thank you oooh perfect one. It's been about 35 years since I had grammar class. Wonder how my child is ranked in the top 1% of all 4th graders in the US with a tupid daddy.

Yes, you are correct, it should have been " a lot of ".

Maybe you should have your son spell check your posts.

I would but she is in bed. Guess I spent all that money on college for nothing.
All that matters now is that she does better them me, I am almost on cruise control, less then 2 years from now I am offically no longer needing any grammar lessons.
I know your being sarcastic, but I can handle it. We all make mistakes. Wonder how the heck I got the job and the great pay I have had for 28 years being tupid. Oh well. Retirement is lurking. Time to relax.

Keep in mind that, as a Mormon, Romney is required to allot a lot of money each year to his church.

What you really meant to write is "than" instead of "them".

Also, what you really meant to write is "you're" as in "you are".

OMG you are in so much trouble, Mrs. Grammar will strike your fingers with a switch.

As a current English teacher, and a former Mormon, I can vouch that you are correct.

Actually, Yeledaf got it right. To Allot means to "allocate" or to distribute. So not only did you misuse the word "allot" you don't even understand when it is used correctly.
