to / too / two
Three words, one sound, and you are picking by vibe.
-
Wrong: Me to!
Right: Me too!
Meaning “also.” That’s too—the one with too many Os.
-
Wrong: It’s to expensive.
Right: It’s too expensive.
Excessive. Too again.
-
Wrong: I’m going too the store.
Right: I’m going to the store.
Direction. Plain to.
The mnemonic
Too has an extra O because it means extra—too much, too many, and “me too” as in also.
Two is the number, and it keeps the W from twice, twin, and twelve.
To is everything else: direction (to the store) and the front half of a verb (to run). It’s the default—if the other two don’t apply, it’s this one.
Now go say me too and mean it.
