Fans recognize the poster's "alot" grammar rant as a Seinfeld parody inspired by the library cop episode, debating whether the recurring crusade against this misspelling is humorous or tiresome.

"NG<> Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y'know that little word, "NG<> the one that says "A LOT"? Well that may not mean "NG<> anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a "NG<> lot. "NG<> Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I've seen your type before: "NG<> Flashy, making the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what "NG<> you're thinking. What's this NewsGuy making such a big stink about "NG<> a few little words? "NG<> Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without "NG<> grammar, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to "NG<> change "NG<> the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a file, "NG<> right "NG<> now, in a public newsgroup and finding spelling of "alot and "NG<> "alright" "NG<> on the alt.sport.wwf and the alt.sex.words? "NG<> Doesn't HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about grammar "NG<> pet peeves and spelling mistakes, you'd better think again. This is "NG<> about that kid's right to read a posting without getting his mind "NG<> warped! "NG<> Or: maybe that turns you on, PKirby; maybe that's how y'get your "NG<> kicks. "NG<> You and your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for ya, joy-boy: "NG<> Party time is over. Y'got seven days, PKirby. That is one week of A "NG<> LOTS. "NG<> :-)

<<<<Boy, this sure has ALOT to do with Seinfeld, eh? :)>>>> Actually it did... it was the same speech the library cop gave Jerry, only changing the subject from the disregard of library books to the use of "alot". <<<< I'll bet ALOT of people are sick of it, too.>>>> Mike's been on a crusade to eliminate the use of "alot" since I joined this ng months ago, and I still find it humorous. I have to bet I'm not alone... Jeremy
