too
two

Why not.

To: As in, "Do it to me." "Go to hell."
Too: means "also". Like in, "Me too."
Two: nope, not gonna bother with this one. It's two tough

Its TOO tough

to - Suggesting present tense - We will go to the shops...
too - Can be used in past tense, or personal present tense - Me too...
two - Only stupidity can miss this one.... - The number two...2...two

Now you are scaring me.

Those are examples. You should explain why they are used in that manner, mr.grammar-pants

Heh, this post is primarily about spelling, not grammar I figured examples might be more useful to the spelling-challenged.

Its not "too" tough to get the spelling right on your own examples though is it?

I see sarcasm is lost on some of you. No wonder Red Dawn is so misunderstood......

What I always find funny is when someone makes fun of someone else's grammar but spells it grammer.

It doesn't really bother me, per se. However, it does tend to make me take a person's message less seriously.

Wow, do you know Jesus because that's the most insightful post I've read all day. You should win some kind of award for your service to the Anandtech community. Quit being such a stick in the butt, it's the internet for crying out loud.

Edit for smiley:

It's funny because my first language is french, and I also get pissed off by those kind of mistakes. I know my english isn't as good as you guys, but my grammar is usually flawless (unless it's 4 in the morning).

I've actually had someone (on this forum) offer me to ship their item first, before receiving my moner order simply because I seemed honest. I asked him how he could judge that, and he said because my spelling and grammar were good. I know it sounds stupid, but I also feel that way.

It's ridiculous how much I have seen the word clever spelled cleaver lately.
