Thank you for [...]. It means lot!
Thank you for [...]. It means a lot!
Can the first sentence be used instead of the second one when wanting to give the word a different value than the one in its original version (as in the case with few/a few)?
I'm aware that it can mean the meaning of the word "lot" in its structure with no-article.
Ngrams shows a less usage of it is few compared to it is a few, and it presents kind of similar plot for it is lot and it is a lot, so does that mean it exists without the preceding article?
