Why would someone insist that "alot" is a word and call me a dummy for saying it isn't?

Furthermore, why would this person block me for telling the truth about it? If I am wrong, please tell me which dictionary lists "alot" as a word.

Well, they would get mad because they always thought it was a word and maybe they felt like you were putting them down by correcting them. But as for blocking you over it, that's just silly.

@ServantOfTheGoddess Why would anyone "think" something is a word when it's not in the dictionary? Besides, that guy was the one putting me down, he called me a dummy. I didn't name-call him.
