Pedantic improve your grammar/spelling post	by Blackbyrd2	2006-11-19 12:55:59
This will be a highly irregular post, here one day, then not seen for a week or so, I'm sure. You all know how reliable I am about finishing things I start. :P In no case will this be seen more frequently than each Mon - Thurs morning. For improved grammar and sentence structure, I highly recommend Strunk and White's Elements of Style. It's cheap, and it's good. Today's lesson: To/Two/Too Two means more than one, and less than three. It isn't often confused with the other two homophones. Too means only one of two things; Either also, or in excess. I want some, too! or That's too* much!* To is the correct spelling for all other uses. _{Hey, better me than Bob the Angry Flower.} Resources you can use Strunk and White's "Elements of Style" (Dead Tree) S & W's Elements of Style online at Bartleby's Guide to Grammar and Writing (online) Diane Hacker's website Eats,Shoots and Leaves: A zero tolerance guide to punctuation.
