This has been bugging me for years (that's a long bug!) and I'd like to finally get it off my chest....


How tricky is it to use the correct to/too/two?? It makes me cring when I read "Me, Paul and Chris to" or "I went two my nans for tea" etc etc


Does it bother anyone else or am I a bit special??

People get confused about dyslexia (unwitting pun) - it's not about spelling problems, and those spelling problems which are created are usually quite specific, not general grammatical rules.


True dyslexia is much broader than simply confusing or transposing letters, for example mistaking ?b? and ?d.".


In general, symptoms of DRD may include:


- Difficulty determining the meaning (idea content) of a simple sentence


- Difficulty learning to recognize written words


- Difficulty rhyming


Bad spellers to be claiming dyslexia is as rough on the real sufferers as fat people claiming to have a low metabolism when they wolf 4,000 calories a day.

    • My main issue is leaves lying on the road, being washed into drain covers then causing flooding risk. 
    • Really don’t  know why people don’t sell their property by them selves…or at least start that way… not difficult if a freehold house, might be  more complicated if leasehold flat but with a good solicitor doing his work, should be fine. With many people using internet, plenty of people put  looking and numerous  other ways to reach target audience. Was a relocation agent for  years both in sales and letting through London and home  counties.. ie acquiring properties for individuals. Same goes for rental/ letting agents.. tenancy agreements are standard, totally agree that various laws governing terms  are updated but nowadays the majority of estate agents in letting and I assume sales  belong to a recognised body so really one can let oneself. Tenancies are free on line or can be purchased for a nominal sum. What do they do for their commission in both instances? Introduce tenant or buyer, in theory check out references and produce a tenancy agreement, agree amendments, sign by both parties, collect deposit and rent. Organise inventory check in and that is it. And then if you decide to pay them for management of property an additional fee in the hope that they will use approve contractors for all repairs in a suitable time frame for tenant. Was a post earlier or towards last year not sure on here or Facebook covering this point and lack of management from agent for months. I hasten to add that not all sales or rental agents behave in this manner but certainly some in good old ED. was definitely a posting about a well known agent in the village who was “slow” concerning the above. From memory, change if staff and just got buried…in my book totally unacceptable excuse. That is why they have managers in each estate agent to overseas and stay abreast of sales and lettings. Can’t pass the buck…and most companies irrespective of type of industry have a leaving policy and hand over policy produced normally by HR..Same could be said for consultants in  new build sales but normally they are  responsible and accountable from start to finish ie monitoring sale  the whole way, have to produce weekly reports to head office  plus  follow up on all enquiries. Been their as well over my career.
