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?

    • Yes, the Council's scheme for Peckham Rye station square is going ahead and is welcomed. However, the major project for the rebuilding of the station itself to provide improved accessibility has not received government funding and is being 'paused'. There seems little prospect of that scheme now going ahead in the current Parliament. This is regrettable as it is one of the busiest stations on the network outside central London. 
    • A  description limited to just " white, 50s, male" would be equally useless in identifying anybody, because it could apply to so many people. What point are you trying to make? And I didn't "jump down the OP's throat." The way the thread has developed is how threads work. Different people have different views on things. And the point about media references to migrants and single mothers was relevant to the discussion.
    • What would be the point of that?  It may work in a  USA style mall where there’s maybe a single point of entry and armed security people.  But here financially, it wouldn’t work. 
    • I think there's a similar square-type thing around Queens Road Peckham, which has stayed in pretty good nick. It was certainly a vast improvement.  Having said that, it would be terribly sad if small businesses suffer in the process. I love the fruit 'n' veg stalls & shops on Rye Lane, and the atmosphere in general atmosphere and very much hope that a new station square and the stalls aren't mutually exclusive.
