(That often isn't even possible, though.) In a worst case scenario, a bunch of the data gets stored on one chip, so you lose the parallelism of having it stored on many different chips that can be read simultaneously. If the device has been used a lot, there may not be enough consecutive places to store data, so it gets scattered around. When data is written to a freshly formatted flash device, it is easy to write all of the data in consecutive memory chips/pages/blocks, and those are a bit faster to access to do reads. There's going to be a little fluctuation if the data was scattered a lot on the flash when it was written. And since you are doing reads, the flash's controller should not have a lot of additional overhead to do, other than table lookups to find data. The raw reads off the flash memory shouldn't fluctuate too much. That being said, "alot" is still not a word. Of course, since this is an internet message board with a mostly casual tone, whether you choose to spell "a lot" properly is of course entirely your prerogative. However, there is still value in using the correct spelling in intelligent discourse. In the case of "a lot", I do agree that spelling it as "alot" is not overly detrimental to understanding. However, while language is changing, certain modifications may rob language of its clarity and or aesthetics. That being said, however, there's still value in preserving the fortitude of a word or phrase's proper (here defined as contemporaneously officially accepted) definition for the sake of clarity, unambiguity, and expressiveness.Īlmost everyone is ok with gradual changes in language, otherwise we'll all be speaking some archaic proto-indo-european language rather than English. In fact, in a lot of contexts, this is exactly how new words or new definitions for old words work their way into the accepted vernacular. To this end, it does appear that "as long as everyone understands it, it is good enough". Yes, language's express goal is to provide a venue of communication. evry1 undrstnds wut alot meens, so wats de prblem?
If u undrst0d it enuf 2 sei dat it's wr0ng n wut wrd it shuld of been, den u undrst00d it's meenin' n dats all it tak3s 2 bee a word.
