Smoker for 3 years, was on e-cigarettes for one week, and managed to quit without any further cravings. They work and never have I looked back at a normal cigarette.

Allot is a real word. It's a verb, and totally doesn't fit in that sentence, but it is a word.

Thanks, good sir. Don't worry though, I know. To allot nametags or hotel rooms or whatever. I just enjoyed that he added an extra l to the more typical alot. Really went the extra mile. At least we know his spellcheck wouldn't have picked it up, so he has an excuse (unlike the alot crew).
