A type of fest which begins with a word I'm not allowed to say....

Ok... I'm not perfect at anything... I'm usually not even great at anything... but there is one thing I AM good at. wanna know what it is? Knowing how to use the words TO, TOO, and TWO! I can't stand how many times I've seen "to" used in place of "too" the last little while and it is seriously driving me crazy! So I'm sorry if anyone thinks I'm being judgmental, or better-than-thou, or whatever but here is a little grammar lesson...

To: (used for expressing motion or direction toward a point, person, place, or thing approached and reached, as opposed to from): They came to the house.

-There were actually 27 definitions for this one but if you are confused look it up-

Two:
–noun

1.
a cardinal number, 1 plus 1.
2.
a symbol for this number, as 2 or II.
3.
a set of this many persons or things.
4.
a playing card, die face, or half of a domino face with two pips.
–adjective
5.
amounting to two in number.
6.
in two, into two separate parts, as halves: A bolt of lightning split the tree in two.

And last but certainly THE MOST IMPORTANT of my mean rant session...

TOO:

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.

Ok, now everyone can hate me for being mean but at least I feel better. Phew!
