Too, to or two?? It isn't that hard!

[EDOliver]

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??

[northlondoner]

It's not as bad as people who write "alot" instead of "a lot". Jeez

[2degreesfrommadness]

Their and there are my pet hates! Makes me want to get my teacher's red pen out!

Looser for loser. Which is ironic, really.

or your for you're.

am sure a lot of things like this can be due to dyslexia.

[Huguenot]

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.
