to / too

Too many people have no idea how to use words they should have learned in grade two. |
|
A, B, and
A and B |
This user prefers to use the serial comma only when its omission can be confusing. |
|
they |
This user considers singular they substandard English usage. |
In writing, although it would be nice to have a gender-neutral 3s pronoun. Prescriptivism is sometimes fun, even though it really isn't something linguistics does.
|
ain't |
This user considers ain't standard English usage. |
|
To use 'they' to stay gender-neutral in writing is...less than appealing, and using "he or she" multiple times consecutively looks clumsy. And "aren't I" instead of "ain't I?" to avoid all use (even etymologically correct use) of "ain't" is something with which I ain't putting up. :)
|
Generally no infinitives split with a negative, unless there is a specific reason against keeping the infinitive together. When there is a significant difference between 'not to believe' and 'to not believe', then I let it pass.
|
... in. |
Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which this user will not put. |
I think 'put up' should be regarded as a single noun if the infinitive is to be viewed as generally one unit.
|
whom |
This user insists upon using whom wherever it is called for, and fixes the errors of whomever he sees. |
|
|
its/it's |
It's really not that hard to use each word in its proper manner. |
|
Subj |
This user likes that the Subjunctive mood be used. Were this user you, he would use it. |

WPC |
This user will get around to being a member of the Wikipedian Procrastination Club |
