I'd like to start a thread not to sound smarter than I am or anything, but just to compile some of the grammatical errors we see here and elsewhere for those who might not know better. Most of the times, the errors here don't detract from the message that's being posted, so maybe it's not a big deal, but it is something I kind of enjoy, so I'll start.
A lot - alot is not a word. It's two words as in "one lot."
It's and its - "It's" is a shortened form of two words - "it" and "is." The word "its" is the possessive. For example : It's great to be here, but my car blew its tire. I believe that "its" is the only possessive word that doesn't use an apostrophe.
I'll think of more, but I'm at work now. Feel free to add some or if you have questions, I can probably answer them.
