We had a spelling test at school years back and one of the questions was to spell 'a lot'. So many people got it wrong it was unbelieveable. I guess in a spelling test it's a bit of a trick because some people are only expecting one word, but they're the same people who think that it's one word anyway.
I find it funny that a lot of native English speakers make those mistakes here, yet I find this pretty easy. Or maybe that's why it's pretty easy. Since I don't speak English every day I don't write English words judging by how it sounds.

It's because we have Hooked on Phonics. It is the best way to teach your kids how to read, spell improperly, and not understand the meaning behind the words.
