Here's the quote: "They're only poor Yanks. They spell lots of word wrongly in America." The preposition is "in" and it introduces the noun "America". Then, the prepositional phrase 'in America' acts as an adverb, describing where the words were wrongly spelled. My quarrel was with the plural adjective "lots" being used to modify the singular noun "word", which has nothing to do with the preposition or the prepositional phrase.
