Please!!!! :roll:

I am tired of the misuse (or laziness by some) to spell this word correctly when it is used in the context of meaning "also" or something similar, when it is not meant to be used a preposition.

Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1)...
–adverb
1. in addition; also; furthermore; moreover: young, clever, and rich too.
2. to an excessive extent or degree; beyond what is desirable, fitting, or right: too sick to travel.
3. more, as specified, than should be: too near the fire.
4. (used as an affirmative to contradict a negative statement): I am too!
5. extremely; very: She wasn't too pleased with his behavior.


Can we get it right please???????????????????????? #-o :?: :?:

Everyone goes on about pedantic things in the maps, how about we start to get some of our basic vocab correct.

I to feel this way. It is way to much. Why can't people, you two, feel that we should move too better spelling. All this misuse of 'to' is just wrong!
