Bad grammar!
41 Answers
I have noticed with the passing of years that quite alot of people now say 'we was' instead of 'we were' and 'I wish I was....' instead of 'I wish I were....'
This is an example of how bad grammar has sneaked into our language and is normal now for some people.
I have just been reading through Trip Advisor and otherwise perfect posts are spoilt with this incorrect use of the verb 'to be.'
The other thing I have noticed is that the perpetrators tend to be from southern parts.
Why has this happened?

If I Google "alot" (in quotes for exact matches only) I get 277 million hits. Alot is a town in India and ALOT is the ticker symbol for a firm called Astro-Med, so it does have some valid uses. Most of the other hits on the first pages are sites that discuss the fact that "alot" does not mean "a lot". So it's hard to blame Google - they don't produce the content.
