" ALOT "

2010-05-01T22:57:00.000+08:00

But there is one grammatical mistake that I particularly enjoy encountering. It has become almost fun for me to come across people who take the phrase “a lot” and condense it down into one word, because when someone says “alot,” this is what I imagine:

The Alot is an imaginary creature that I made up to help me deal with my compulsive need to correct other people’s grammar. It kind of looks like a cross between a bear, a yak and a pug, and it has provided hours of entertainment for me in a situation where I’d normally be left feeling angry and disillusioned with the world.
For example, when I read the sentence “I care about this alot,” this is what I imagine:

Similarly, when someone says “alot of _______”, I picture an Alot made out of whatever they are talking about.

If someone says something like “I feel lonely alot” or “I’m angry alot,” I’m going to imagine them standing there with an emo haircut, sharing their feelings with an Alot.

The Alot is incredibly versatile.

So the next time you are reading along and you see some guy ranting about how he is “alot better at swimming than Michael Phelps,” instead of getting angry, you can be like “You’re right! Alots are known for their superior swimming capabilities.”

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in
use while the other disused.
Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the
operational track.

The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange.
You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save
most of the kids.
However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused
track would be sacrificed.
Or would you rather let the train go its way?

Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could
make......... ........

Scroll down

Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and
sacrifice only one child.
You might think the same way, I guess.
Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child
was rational decision
most people would make, morally and emotionally.
But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the
disused track had in fact
made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends
who chose to play where the danger was.
This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday.
In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic
society,
the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority,
no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted
and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play
with the rest on the operational track was sidelined.
And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not
try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids
playing on the operational track should have known very well that track
was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the
train's sirens..
If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because
he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover,
that track was not in use probably because it was not safe.
If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all
passengers on board at stake!
And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you
might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need
to be made,
we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right
one.

'Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular
isn't always right.'

Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.

Yesterday my friend's sister got married therefore, my mother and I was invited to the wedding dinner. There were a lot of people and we ate a lot of food, the fried prawns with oatmeal was my favourite dish. My mother ate my bowl of shark's fin soup as i did not like to eat it. I had gone to the toilet countless times, but i did not drank much water that night. I think i was too nervous :) The Bride and Groom is very pretty and handsome too.
