alot is not a word in English and is clearly incorrect. "a lot" is the

correct word for most purposes. See below for more details:

"Alot means nothing because it is not a word in the English language

and therefore should not to be used."

"A lot (two words) is an informal phrase meaning a large portion or

large quantity of something."

SOURCE: http://www.garypaulson.net/archives/allot-vs-alot-vs-a-lot-spelling/

"Allot is a verb that means to distribute, to assign a portion, or to divide.

Example: The instructor allotted me 20 minutes to take the test."
