'Allot' is a word. 'Alot' is not.

In cold weather, my wife would wonder whether her wether's barn was weatherproof or whether her wether would freeze during the cold weather.
I told her that whether or not her wether will freeze all depends on whether or not the weather gets below freezing.
She told me that whether or not her wether freezes depends on how well I weatherproofed her barn to protect her wether.
I told her that whether or not her wether freezes depends on whether or not her wether has enough winter hair to keep her wether from freezing not whether or not I put alot of insulation in the barn to protect her wether from the weather.
She then told me that if I had allotted enough insulation in the barn to protect her wether from the weather than it wouldn't matter whether or not her wether had enough hair to protect it from the winter weather.

At this point I really didn't care whether or not the weather froze her wether because I was wondering whether or not I would make it into a cabrito or curry recipe.

I suppose you could have solved this problem early whether you knew it or not, if you had purchased a ewe of any hue, in stead of a wether...depending of course, on the weather.

It is really nice that her castrated goat has a nice warm and dry barn. How many know a "wether" is a castrated goat? It is not in many dictionaries.

Ah, probably because it's a castrated ram. [Oxford Concise Dictionary]

:sheep:

Note: Although the Oxford Concise specifically says that a 'wether' is a castrated ram... online dictionaries note that it can also be applied to a castrated goat.

There used to be kind of a thing when a fire company arrived on scene and reported a 'small dwelling fire'. Question was, is it a small fire in a dwelling, or a fire in a small dwelling?

In any case, if it's like the fire department I'm familiar with, no matter what you call it, they will eventually squirt water on it!

In those cases, it may be a question of when were the dues due?
On some mornings, you may ask, when is the dew due?
Which of course is entirely different from deep doo-doo.
Coincidentally that may be what you're in if you didn't know the dues due date.

Maybe it was just a small fire dwelling for a short time before moving on.
