'A lot of fruits' and 'Lots of fruits' have the same meaning; that is, 'there are many fruits'. Spectacled-Girl Joined on Fri, May 25 2007 Singapore Full Member 351 Play hard, study hard.

	Feebs11  +  385295 Thu, 28 Jun 07 11:36 AM What you are hearing in spoken English is what is called "colloquial" - it is an informal use of words. When writing, it is better to use "dollars" [plural]. Feebs11 Plurals

	Clive  +  385601 Fri, 29 Jun 07 05:37 AM Hi, Colloquialisms vary by country. I think some British persons might informally say 'It cost 200 pound'. However, I don't think a North American would ever say 'It cost 200 dollar'. He might, however, say 'This is a 200-dollar suit', using the phrase '200-dollar' as an adjective. Perhaps it is this adjectival kind of use that Anthon has heard?
