Nothing gives the Nerdvark worst gastrointestinal pain than seeing
the words "a lot" joined together to form one non-word,
"alot."
Nothing.
When Nardvark hands over his writing with pride, the Nerdvark's
guts get all twisted. Once he is able to speak, he says, "'Alot' is
not a word. 'A' is a word, and 'lot' is a word, but together they are not
a word."
Then Nardvark, who has just never had a mind for languages, says,
"Huh?"
To which the Nerdvark always replies, "Look, you wouldn't
write 'apizza' or 'aunicorn' or 'asprinkling', so what's with 'alot'?"

The Nerdvark is doubled over in pain because Nardvark is bombarding him with alots. |
