What is the correct way to use the word alot?
alot, alittle, noone, are all old British English. No one spells "no one" like "noone" anymore. (anymore correct or should I spelt any more with a space? English is always changing lol) I was taught to spell like alot, alittle, noone etc from a very old English teacher in 1989. However most English professionals would consider this to be wrong. I read many forums online claiming many old English to be wrong, however sometimes it's just old.
Which is the correct way to use the word 'however' in a sentence?
1) My sister went to the store; however, she forgot toothpaste. 2) Dogs like to cuddle, however, mine does not. Which of the two sentences is correct??

What is the correct way to use the word it's or its?
It's is short for ''it is''. Its means it belongs to that person. When in doubt, try to replace the It's by ''it is''. If it doesn't make sense, it means you have to use ''its''. Ex. IT'S cold outside = IT IS cold ouside. (makes sense) The dog is wiggling its tail. --- The dog is wiggling IT IS tail (does not make sense). Therefore, you have to use ITS and not IT'S.

Correct way to use the word unsurpassed?
Sorry, your second usage is incorrect. Unsurpassed is an adjective. You are using it as a verb. You can say that "his performance was unsurpassed" (since "unsurpassed" gives you information on the noun "performance"), but you can't say that "he unsurpassed his character" (the verb is missing) Your sentence could be rewritten as: Russell Crowe's dramatic portrayal of the various difficult challenges in John Nash's life, is unsurpassed in his career. What you're saying here is that this is Crowe's best dramatic performance.
