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.

They blocked you for being a grammar nazi, why does it matter? Why do you feel the need to correct their spelling as if it’s homework?

@SW-User Because ignorance is irritating sometimes?

@ChipmunkErnie as is constant criticism if you struggle with spelling, grammar or English as second language. People come here to chat and post about different things. If all they get is people constantly correcting them I’d start blocking too. People who always feel the need to correct others is so much more annoying than the occasional spelling mistake

@SW-User I try to be open-minded, particularly with people for whom English is obviously a second language.

@SW-User The point is, that guy INSISTED that he was right about something when he was wrong, he argued and name-called me and then he blocked me. How much more annoying could that guy have been?
