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.

1. What is a Cring

2. How many nans do you have

1. Sorry As they barge through. Should be excuse me.

2. Can I get a latte? NO I will get it for you you can have it.

3. I am feeling Anti-social tonight (Means you are going out and smashing a bus shelter or similar)

4. St Katherine's Dock. Grrr.

5. Does anybody really use two instead of to?


Sorry about this. Or should it be excuse me?

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
