Too, to, two

[Iwrotethelyricstoaxlf]

Too = as well as

To = to go, add to

Two = a number

Honestly, this is getting worse than there, their, they’re.

as you were.

I hate it when people say Pacific, actually meaning specific.

I also hate people saying expresso instead of espresso.

For me its loose when they mean lose drives me mad every bloody time.

I defiantly agree

Every time someone writes too instead of to I can’t help but read the sentence

eg. I can wait too go too the zoo

I can’t wait as well the zoo as well

It's slowly frying my brain.

Bare with me.

maybe try some critical thinking about why adult literacy rates are suffering in the UK rather than bitching on Mumsnet?

This is the board for you. These posts are a thousand times more annoying than typos or grammar mistakes.

Do you think patronisingly pointing out the definitions will cure dyslexia?

"He's" instead of "his", and "his" instead of "he's" always drives me mad - I have a lovely friend who constantly does this in texts, I'd never correct her because I'm not a complete bastard, but it still makes me wince!

This annoys me two. Even my to year old could get it write.

The one I'm noticing more and more is people mixing up generally and genuinely. "I generally felt really bad for them" grrrrrr

Two sacks of potatoes will be too heavy to carry.
I learnt that at junior school and have never forgotten it.

Loose and lose are doing my head in on MN.
'How do I loose weight?' Well, just cut the rope.

Ignorance of the English language is not dyslexia. It's just ignorance.

'You need to add to two, too'

I saw this in a published book last week. I don't mind mistakes and typos on a forum (especially one that lacks an edit button), but it annoys me when they appear in material that should have been extensively proof-read.

I often see ‘seen’ for seeing, and ‘been’ for being

Official .gov site had Your instead of You're

I actually think 'lose' is going to fall out of use in the very near future. Language evolves and I think that so few people seem to use 'lose' anymore that it's just becoming acceptable for 'loose' to be used instead.

the one I keep seeing is people "going for a wonder" or "had a lovely wonder to the park"

Dyslexia is one of the many reasons people make grammar mistakes. The point is you don't know the reasons and shouldn't judge.

But they mean different things!

It is most definitely not dyslexia in many cases.

Perhaps they are going for a wonder 🤷‍♀️😂

I'm sorry two here this OP.

The fact that people say dyslexia is not a reason someone may make grammar mistakes says a lot about them.

They clearly do not know what dyslexia is. I know head teachers and doctors who are dyslexic and make these types of mistakes. No one points it out as you can still understand what is intended to be read.
