1.
Correct definition = distribute: administer or bestow, as in small portions.

I'm no snooty English teacher or anything, but these particular mistakes drive me crazy! What is going on with education these days?
Correct example: Given as a task; "her allotted chores"
Incorrect example: "I liek that allot"

Next time your spell checker tells you "alot" is not correct, please "add" it to your dictionary.
