TO, TOO, TWO

OK - everyone has their own pet peeves.  This is one of mine.    To see educated people use these 3 DIFFERENT words as if they mean the same thing indicates to me that someone is NOT educated.  So - let's have a quick lesson:

to:    (prepostion).  This word indicates either a motion or a direction, as in "I went to my house" or "I threw the ball to my son".

too:  (adverb),   In addition or multiple, as in "I have too many pet peeves" or "It bothers me too often when people don't care"

two:  (noun).     A number between 1 and 3, as in The first two should be easier to understand.


ok - LET'S work on those and then on another day, we'll try to tackle something more difficult, such as There, Their and They're....
