Definitions and meanings of "Allotting"

What do we mean by allotting?

To distribute or apportion by (or as if by) lot.

To assign or designate as a task or for a purpose.

Correct definition = distribute: administer or bestow, as in small portions. Incorrect version: An illiterate way of spelling "a lot". The most common mistake however (very common unfortunetly) is "alot". I'm no snooty English teacher or anything, but these particular mistakes drive me crazy!

Self-explanatory to Britishers in the 1990's, this description of unruly hair will puzzle the rest of us, so: 1. Terry Waite served as the Anglican Church's international diplomacy negotiator. In 1987, he was himself taken hostage in Lebanon and held mostly in solitary confinement until his release in 1991. He's a well-known public speaker now. 2. "Allotment" in Britain is an urban rented garden patch. Hence, Terry Waite's allotment would be untended and weed-choked. I haven't determined if Waite actually was an allotment holder at the time of his confinement. Urban Dictionary
