"A lot of happiness" or "lots of happiness"?

[YMIHERE]

A lot of happiness or lots of happiness mean the same thing. Both are a neurological state indicating that you're not paying attention to real life.

What should it be? "Let's hope 2010 gives us a lot of happiness" "... lots of happiness"?

Just write :
"Let us hope that 2010 will bring everyone joy and happiness, health and good fortune!"


Or:
"Let's hope 2010 brings us lotsa good shit, bitches!"

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.

Thank you, meesterperfect! :thumbsup:

Let's lose the word "lots" and put in "oodles." Final answer!!

Let's hope 2010 gives us a lot of happiness is more correct.
