Dear all,
Do you use "lots", instead of "a lot", in the sentences below?
The weather is a lot (lots?) warmer than yesterday.
The test results were a lot (lots?) better than I expected.
In COCA, "a lot better" way outnumbers "lots better". I'd like to make sure if "lots better" sounds as natural as "a lot better".
Thank you!
