public service announcement number two
Now I know you people all supposedly learned this in first grade or whatever, but y'all keep screwing it up! Especially on AIM! So for once and for all, I'm here with the Society for the Elimination of Excess O's on the Word To.
Two vs. Too vs. To.
People seldom mix “two” up with the other two; it obviously belongs with words that also begin with TW, like “twice” and “twenty” that involve the number 2. But the other two are confused all the time. Just remember that the only meanings of “too” are “also” (“I want some ice cream too.”) and “in excess” (“Your walkman is playing too loudly.”). Note that extra O. It should remind you that this word has to do with adding more on to something. “To” is the proper spelling for all the other uses.

Same threats apply as the previous PSA: any further misspellings will result in defenestration.
