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.

Hahaha!
There was a chap on the radio recently who admitted to correcting graffiti that had grammatical mistakes like misspelling and wrong apostrophe use - he carries a small can of red paint and physically corrects it because it drives him nuts. When the radio presenter pointed out that he was just as guilty of doing graffiti as the person who did it in the first place, he agreed and said that he couldn’t help himself and it was a compulsion of his. It was pretty funny!
I wouldn’t worry about correcting people - just let them willingly stumble through life being oblivious. Much less stressful!
I think that “Alot” might be a place name, but I’m not sure. I did look it up once to waste a bit of time 😂

@Oneofthestormboys Correcting graffiti that had grammatical mistakes like misspelling and wrong apostrophe use is so normal it's unbelievable.

"When the radio presenter pointed out that he was just as guilty of doing graffiti as the person who did it in the first place, he agreed and said that he couldn’t help himself and it was a compulsion of his"

Was that radio presenter a Libra, by any chance? That sounds like a very Libran thing to say.
