Grammar 101...
Carter-Orange:
Great idea, it's something that annoys me too. When I was in school it was kind of drilled into us and it's not something you forget.

We're (we are <-- for Nick and AJ lol) definitely (not definately) having fun with this now. (hit the space bar once at the end of a sentence to help break up your thoughts) I (always start a new sentence with a capital letter and always capitalize the letter 'I' when it stands alone, even in the middle of a sentence) hope people really do pay attention to what is being said in here (not hear). :)

If by "to funny," you mean it's funnier than you can stand, the way Lore used it in the post before yours, it's actually too funny. She was right. ;) There, too is an adjective that helps describe how funny it is. "To funny" would mean you're going to funny - as if funny is a place or something that you do, neither of which makes sense.
I guess that means today's words are...
To/Too/Two:
To is a preposition, used before a noun, often a place. I'm going to the store. Hey, Tanja, this story belongs to me! To can also be used as an infinitive before a verb. I'm going to post my story on AC. I'm going to kick Tanja's ass if she steals my story again.
Too is a synonym for "also." Do you want to kick Tanja's ass, too? Too can also be used before an adjective to mean "excessively." Tanja has plagiarized too many stories. She is too pathetic.
Two is the written form of the number 2. If you mean 2, write out "two."
Carter-Orange:
Can I also mention in here the differences between USA and English words? Some people might read my stories and think things like 'you don't spell favourite with a u in the middle, she can't spell' etc, etc. I just want to point out that some of our spellings are different and it's not that I'm crap at spelling ;D
Sorry to go slightly off the topic!
