"Alot" isn't a word, its "a lot".

It's not "its"; it's "it's".

You know how if you write too man words starting with the same letter in a sentence, it's called illiteracy.

No, that's the stylistic device known as alliteration. Illiteracy is the lack of reading skills.

is english your second language?? not being an ass, but your sentences are fragments and the second one does not make sense (like it is missing words).

English is my second language, however I've never been called out on that before. Most people that know me, consider me to be a well spoken person. This is a forum, so I don't pay particular attention to my grammar here. I'm also at work, and heavily multitasking. For what it's worth, I believe my question is rather difficult to conjecture.
