I feel like that has to do with the phototropism
Like, take the sun away and there's no need for the plant to reach its leaves/chlorophyll towards it. So it just kind of droops.
feel like that should've been observed way earlier if that's the case

Yeah, like it's just such a basic thing. We just now got confirmation that plants droop at night? Did we fall asleep every other time we tried to find out or do they like get startled if a human is around
We dealing with a sudowoodo here? Need answers

 

[Mercurial]

It's spelled a lot. not alot.The American Heritage Book of English Usage states that “alot is still considered an error in print” but notes that standard words have formed by fusion of the article with a noun, such as another and awhile, and suggests the possibility that alot may, like them, eventually enter standard usage

 

[wavy daddy]

You didnt learn that in 3rd grade????

 

[danikerhino]

Always makes me think of this:

http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.co.uk/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html

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:

View media item 2038436
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."

[nazdrowie]

if "alot" is wrong, and "a lot" is right, should the word "allotment" actually be "a llotment?"

 

[silverbackhoney]

if "alot" is wrong, and "a lot" is right, should the word "allotment" actually be "a llotment?"

No because that's the other definition.
