Alot starts young. I beat my 5th graders about it a lot. It doesn't help.

Invariably, when I would ask my students (who had me for 2 years) what important things they learned in my English/Language Arts class, the fact that a lot is two words always came up.
Don't get me started on the incorrect use of apostrophes.
Please, just because a word ends in an s does mean it needs an apostrophe.

My pet peeve (and I'm sure I've mentioned it) is your vs you're. I've received invitations that read your invited. I'm also currently fighting I seen with my students. They'll say "Hey, I seen you the other day", or "I seen Joe downtown". Goes right through me.
