"a lot" is like saying "I have an ACRE of land" or "I have a BUNCH of land" or "I have a LOT of land" the problem is, they say "spell a lot" rather than "spell lot" and putting an "a" before it to properly identify "lot".

I believe most people will have that problem by default, because everyone is teaching everyone the wrong way to learn it. Because of how we are taught, we learn that without the "a" in "a lot" it is not a word, and no words have spaces in them.
