Found this on a game board... for those who spend too much time playing games and not enough learning grammar.

to - refers to something
too - refers to quantity - too much, too cool
two - 2
they're - they are
their - it is their home
there - over there
than - refers to quantity - more than
then - if this, then that
a - use before a constantant (a pear)
an - use before a vowel or soft h (an apple)

Well, if we are to be giving grammar tips, then we should be able to spell too. :shock:

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
G-R-A-M-M-A-R :lol:
It's amazing what comes out by mistake, even when you actually do know the correct spelling/usage. As the internet broadens communication overall, the language takes a dive.

Here's some food for thought:

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Anthr std fnd tht it dsn't mttr if y inclde vwlls in a wrd, th onl imprtnt thng is tht th frst lttr and th cnsnnts ar thr.

:lol:
