Does it annoy anyone else when people use "to" instead of "too" like..."I'm going to be there to."

Yeah, people don't know how to spell anymore.\n\nOr, should I say, peepel dont no how too spell n e more.

I agree with you - especially when after 15 seconds they say "we'll know in half an hour" or "we'll find out after the break".\n\nIt's very annoying!

The answer is B. me because it can become a prepositional phrase at the end of the sentence by adding the word to.  The sentence becomes:\nThey gave a bonus to me.

'I am hungry \nEats your hand \nKeeps the other for tomorrow \nAnd your head \nFor the days of party.'\n\nYes, this doesn't make much sense in that order, but different languages use words in different orders than other languages.

Pretty typical. Way over half of the bashers can't spell and don't know the difference in their, there, and they're...not to forget the difference in to and too, don't start me on the grammar.

You are just like me! I hate it when people also say "Hey" instead of "Hello". I think people fall into these trendy slang sayings which drive me crazy. Think for yourself and show some originality.

There are a few points in the Sentence Correction questions that are questionable. For example they tend to American usage with regard to whether collective nouns are singular or plural (pick singular)--however, they do seem to be compromising and will usually have another clue in the non-underlined portion, or another error in the underlined portion, so that is unlikely to be the only point tested at one time. "Their" used as a neutral singular is definitely wrong (e.g. Everyone took their seats.) "Different" belongs with "from" and not, as in British usage, with "to" (also not with "than"). "If I would" is wrong, although it is gaining popularity in the real world.\n\nIf you mean the essays, chances are minor errors like these and certainly British spellings will not be marked wrong.

Laziness..spell-checker and the internet... Enough said....\nIt's a pet-peave of mine too.. I don't expect perfect grammar, but I at least want to be able to understand what one is saying to me...I'm not a perfectionist, but let's get real...Nobody takes you seriously if you can't tell the difference between to, two and too...Geez! DRIVES ME CRAZY!!

Cute question.  I'm almost tempted not to try and answer but only agree that you are right, it is just a wrong form of speech.  The truth is, though, we hear it, and it does make sense.  I think it makes sense when the "now" is used not as a reference in time but a reference in a sequence of arguments or acts, a reference in space if you want.  You'll present arguments, and before your conclusion, derived from those arguments, you'll say "now then."  Or you'll do some things like prepare various steps in a recipe, then before you move on, you say "now then."  Is this just more obtuse?

It ain't so! :) lol******* You aren't alone!\n\nIt gives me a headache trying to figure out where one sentence ends and the next begins. UGH...Don't get me wrong...I misspell an occasional word here and there but we are talking about "minor mistakes".

This is a pet peeve of mine also.

No. You have to use "to" instead of "towards".\n\n"We have to make a promise to ourselves."

Nash is right... to put it simple - and is a "joining word" (conjunction) - if it is at the beginning of a sentence, then it is not actually "joining" anything, and therefore has no point. If you want, write "furthermore".

Nope. I tell them that it's not spelled that way. No big deal. If it's not on a public/legal/medical document, ad, print or on it's way to a printer at the expense of me or client - I don't care. \n\nPeople who get annoyed every time someone in "casual" conversation misspell or use bad grammar are the most boring creatures to be around (you're not debasing anyone just being B-O-R-I-N-G), have no life, or too happy and need real problems.

Yes, strictly speaking it should be "I do" or just "I", but it just sounds so pretentious. It's not the way we speak in everyday converstaion.

Yes, it's the upward inflection at the end of sentences especially amongst younger people. Drives you mad !

I have never heard of this rule before, and I'm a grammar teacher, so I don't think anyone will get mad if you violate it.\n\nHowever, the form of your sentence that would fit the rule would be: "Come to Manchester, in which we will meet some interesting people."\n\nIt doesn't really do anything for me, either.
