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.

they aren’t allowed to ask “how” questions in exams/tests where I live, because people use “how” instead of “why”

So they couldn’t ask “how did early settlers travel from Europe to America” because people would say for better jobs, to make more money, etc etc, rather than by boat.

Brought instead of bought... You don't bry, you buy. And don't get me started on use of apostrophes instead of correct plurals... Potato's / potatoes etc

what is lose? I only know losing and lost lol

Eg
"If that happens, I will lose my mind"

you win

I was sat, she was sat, he was stood, I was stood.

Did someone put you there? Otherwise, you were sitting, you were standing etc.

I know all the correct words as I was always pretty good at literacy but I don't care if people use the wrong ones... I'm not perfect at everything either and as long as you understand what people mean it's not the end of the world! I don't understand why people care so much.

Could of
Would of
How are people so dense?

Also 'my friend borrowed me some money.' No, they lent you money.

Grammar nazis everywhere.

You have never heard the word lose before?

I’m scared I’m going to lose it.
Be careful, you might lose it!
We are starting to lose sight of the target.
I need to lose weight.

How would you say those sentences without the word “lose”?

This one does actually mean the exact opposite and was confusing on a recent thread.

Sometimes people get confused between the spelling of loose and lose. The pp might know the word but think its written with two Os.

And before some people start thinking those confused by the two must be stupid, when one accounts for regional differences of speech is not so surprising.

thanks, you have reminded me I do know this word.

Sometimes I fall foul of the too/to thing because my phone bafflingly autocorrects ‘too’ to ‘to’ in some (incorrect) cases.

I thought you might actually know the word 😂 I forgot the meaning of the word wigwam a few years ago and I vividly remember looking at it and thinking it meant zigzag but kind of knowing that wasn’t right.

The one that I'm seeing a lot of is people who are 'led in bed' I've actually started to wonder if I'm the odd one for saying laying instead of led 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you are led in bed, you followed someone there (but it would be led to bed).
If you are laying or laid somewhere, someone put you there, there is no layed, but is in in usage, though not accepted. A body is laid in earth
If you got into bed yourself you are lying there.
This relates to people thinking they ‘are sat’ somewhere (were put there, the past, by someone else) instead of sitting there.

*were put there, IN the past, by someone else

Not quite.
You would not be "laying" in bed, even if someone did put you there. Lay is transitive.
"To be sat" isn't standard usage, but unlike your example of "laying in bed", isn't grammatically incorrect.

To be sat somewhere means you were placed there, it’s incorrect because it’s never used in this sense in real-world situations, unless you are Humpty-Dumpty. Yes, indeed, laying would be laying of a floor etc. You can’t be laying somewhere.

I myself, me myself or for you and myself. Because people don't know when to use I and me.

The other usage that irritates me is aks. How ask extrapolates to ask when spoken is beyond me.

I’ll admit I find it frustrating but mostly because of the way I was brought up and the high expectations laid on me by my parents, in the first, and school.

However, both of my brothers are dyslexic so I’ve a lot of understanding and experience in looking past it.

My question, though, is is there a way to inform someone they’ve spelt a word incorrectly and therefore changed the meaning/nuance without it coming across as condescending? Do people want to know if they have got it ‘wrong’ for their own benefit?

I was quoting your example of when "laying" might be used.

As I said, "to be sat" whilst not standard usage, isn't incorrect either. Have you ever read David Crystal on Descriptivism? He doesn't mind "to be sat", or "to be stood". And, what's good enough for our greatest living linguist is good enough for me.
