What's "happiness" ...? :dunno:
are u crazy??
The problem you seem to be having here is thought. Either you're doing too much of it or not enough. I tend to favour the latter in this case.
My advice to you would be to fix this sooner rather than later.
Chew on the Grandfather sack for a little while, that usually calms a person down.

Seemed like the appropriate place for today's task.
ha ha,
1. both sentences is having the same number of characters
2. in the second sentence 's' (lots) replaces 'A' in the first sentence.
Thank you!:thumbsup:
Finally a usefull answer, even though I should have figured that out myself.
What should it be? "Let's hope 2010 gives us a lot of happiness" "... lots of happiness"?
Let's hope 2010 gives us a lot of happiness is more correct.
I don't have both of them
Actually, try this:
I dun hope 2010 does give you bitchin' happiness.
I dun hope 2010 does give you bitchin' happiness.

"A lot of happiness" can fit a in a small box and still have room for packing peanuts. "Lots of happiness" takes up an entire refrigerator carton and requires three large Nordic males to transport. I hope this clears up any confusion.

I'll answer your question cerat.
And its a good question.
There are lots of/a lot of rules with the word lot.
there is no difference in meaning.
they both mean "much" "many" or 'much more' depending on the context.
It shows emphisis of degree.
I feel lots better now
I feel a lot better now.
remember you dont use lots at the end of a sentence.
but you can use a lot anywhere in the sentance.
I eat chicken lots- wrong
i eat chicken a lot. - correct.
when followed by an adjective you say - lot/ alot
I am a lot/lots happier today.
when followed by a noun you must say a lot of/ lots of.
lots of/ a lot of happiness to you.

therefore in your example both ways are correct and equal.
Either is grammatically correct and equivalent in meaning. "Lots" might be used a little more commonly than "a lot" simply because English (like most languages) tends to eliminate syllables whenever possible.
Also, in your sample sentence, "brings" would probably be a little better than "gives." Again, either is grammatically correct and equivalent in meaning. But, in this case, "gives" is just slightly awkward for the context. Not sure why... just doesn't feel quite right.
