Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-01-2004 07:57 PM                     I rarely see the word "to" used in place of two (quantity). But too is often omitted and just to is used. In fact, what is the proper form for writing the phrase: There are three forms of the word to.?

The only group that uses "theater" regularly are the print media, and we know how often they're on the wrong track.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!
