Which Dictionary?
_____ From: Deanna Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 7:49 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Grammer Lesson (Was RE: Shots Fired In Miami Aircraft) You know, that the dictionary actually has the definition: A large extent, amount, or number. Often used in the plural: is in a lot of trouble; has lots of friends. Above the defintion: A piece of land used for a given purpose: a parking lot. So, I think you've lost the battle, and I'd say that "a lot" of people have used "a lot" in an informal way so much that it's now an acceptable standard. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Dreamweaver with Homesite Plus from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=54 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:186910 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
