Actually, she is not correct. And, I am as much as grammarian as anyone. I nearly closed my practice for a day when I heard this. Believe it or not, "alot" may make it into the English dictionary. I am not so sure about "It is I" (correct) vs. "It is me." So simple with that being verb. Is renames the subject. Then there is the "than" pet peeve with, "He can run faster than me," when it should be, "He can run faster than I." So many tricks such as adding the "can" to the end of the sentence as in, "He can run faster than I can." Of course, it wouldn't be, "He can run faster than me can."
I do recall, though, hearing grammatical errors and how they would jump out of the sentence the same way one of the four-letter words would.
I am determined now to get the thread from the site. The paragraph the poster wrote was genius.
