You use "too" when you mean also. Here is the dictionary definitions and examples:

1 : BESIDES, ALSO <sell the house and furniture too>

2 a : to an excessive degree : EXCESSIVELY <too large a house for us> b : to such a degree as to be regrettable <this time he has gone too far> c : VERY <didn't seem too interested>

3 : SO 2d <"I didn't do it." "You did too.">

As far as your story goes. You could make each year a seperate story. Then it would be an epic saga.

... at the rate Im going, my story is going to be like 100000 chapters long....

Hey Nicky,

Can you give Dom some lessons in writing more chapters?

Could you imagine. TOU CH 94302

Take Care,

Vic

Im just sorry that what's happening right now is because of some post that I made that someone didn't like.

Now that is simply nonsense Nickolas. You posted your feelings in your blog and you were attacked. That had nothing to do with you. To say that you were at fault too is just too erroneous to believe. Go forward guiltless, at least on this topic.

Hi Nick-

Just remember that "too" works where you could put "also".

eg. Are you going too?

I want some nuts on my sundae too.

Now- in other matters.

You are one of a number of very impressive young people that frequent this site. The site is richer for your presence. Fight the good fight as your conscious leads you and I'll never hold it against you.

Thanks Gobears...you know, it's funny. I actually know the rules behind to and too, but for some reason, I just forget which one(To or Too) the rules apply to....at least I don't get Two mixed up...lol...that would be sad.

Also, I kinda like the idea of yearly installments, even though my bf might not like having to be that patient...it's a true story about us meeting realizing that we're gay, and finally going out. I decided to start in 1999, whewn we first moved to Virginia, and Im realizing that there's so much important stuff that I need to include. Also, Im writing the story in third person. Im not sure why I decided to do it that way, since it's actually a story about me, but I just decided that I hate writing in first person. This makes it easier for me to write about things that are important, but that are bad memories.

I know what you mean, Mark Im no going to sit here and blame myself for something dumb that someone else did, but I feel a little embarrassed that it happened because of someone who decided to act a fool on my blog. So I guess what I should have said was, Im just sorry some moron dragged me into this mess he got himself into by acting out on my blog....lol.

Dear James,

Thanks for the tips on To and Too.....It's like I told Gobears..I know the rules, I just can't ever remember what spelling of To/Too they apply to.

Also, thanks for the cool compliment. That makes me feel good, because as you know, I really didn't think that anyone here liked me before. But of course, thanks to a crazy comment that was left on my blog a few entries ago, I found out just how many awesome people are here and how many people here actually have my back. I think it's so sweet the way everyone supported me, and Im glad to be here.

You are a smart person. Don't mistake people disagreeing with you for disliking you as a person. Just because you dislike someone's opinion about a certain topic doesn't mean that they don't like you. Yes there was a heated debate in the Soapbox and it was obvious we didn't like one another's opinions. The debate got heated due to frustrations on both sides. You can like a person but not like what they are saying. I love nothing more than to be challenged in my views and ideas. If nothing else, I have learned to be open-minded as I have grown over the years. This forum really helps me with that. I think it can help everybody. There is not one person on this planet that you can't learn at least one thing from. Having moved from a redneck town full of bigotry and ignorance, I appreciate intelligence and open-mindedness. Don't be afraid to be who you are and stand up for what you think.

Hey Nicholas,

Ditto on what everyone is saying to you. Hold your head high, you've done nothing wrong.

I would just like to point out that there are other interpretations of what occurred on your blog. For the sake of this example, let's call the person Abner - I don't think there are any members with this name.

In one of your blogs, you expressed considerble angst over comments made to you in the chat room. Abner was feeling badly about that. Abner decides to post as "Guest" and flame you. Why? Answer: To get a considerable amount of sympathy and support for you from the members. Abner even posted as himself and flammed Guest too. Abner achieved the results he was looking for. However, it was still a serious error in judgement.

Hugs,

Conner

So you're saying that "Abner" posted this assault as a guest just to drive sympathy for Nickolas? That is a spin worthy of Karl Rove, with the same high bullshit content.

I don't know about that. I just think the whole thing was weird, and Im glad it's over. The thing that bugs me is that he said stuff about how he read everyone of my posts and I was spoiled and arrogant and stuff......if it was the person they say it was, it's even weirder because it's like he has 2 personalities or something. Anyway, like I said before, Im glad it's over.

Hey Nickolas,

Well I have no idea what any of you are talking about (and that works for me, glad to be out of the drama ;-)), and just found out reading this that snow dog is leaving, I'm very sorry to hear that too. Oh yeah speaking of "too", I've been reading your story, which I'm enjoying very much by the way, and I think you should just make it as long as you want, it's your story and you should feel free to be as thorough or concise as you deem necessary. Anyway I'd noticed that you always use "to" in your story, I don't know if this'll help but I'm a big believer in remembering stuff with some sorta mnemonic aid (the only trouble is sometimes I get so elaborate it's easier to just remember the real info than the aid lol). Anyway maybe this will help you, if not it can't hurt.

"TOO" has two "o's" in it, so basically you've added an extra "o". That's good because the majority of the time "too" is used in means "IN ADDITION". like in my comment above "I'm very sorry to hear that TOO", just like you and everyone else, I'm ADDING my sympathy and so also adding an "O". Or like "let me come TOO please" (you want to ADD yourself to the group going, so add an "o" as well. The other most common use of "too" is when you're discussing degree of something. Like "I'm "TOO" hungry to wait any longer". In this the extra "O" can be remembered because in alot of these situations people might be whining about something and adding emphasis to the "too". Like if you just said "I'm SOOOO hungry", "I'm TOOO tired to get up" (Just remember you can only get away with adding one extra "o".

As for "TO", "to" is most often used as a preposition, I don't know how much you know about prepositions but basically prepositions begin a clause (or prepositional phrase), which could be taken out completely and the sentenace would still make sense, prepositional phases just add more info. Like in the above example I said "I'm too hungry TO wait any longer", the "to wait any longer" is a prepositional phrase and could be left out, it's just explaining what I'm too hungry to do (wait any longer), and "to" is just the preposition that begins the whole thing. It would have still made sense if I'd said "I'm too hungry" it just would have been as informative. Anyway all that's not important, basically the thing you have to remember is that "to" is a preposition and like the other MOST COMMON prepositions: on, in, by, and at, it's a very short two letter word. So just lump "to" in there with "on, in, by, and at" granted those are by no means the only prepositions and some prepositions are fairly long words (although, through, beside etc.), the short two letter prepositions are definitely the most common. "to" can also be used as adverb, but again that's not as common and you'll probably automatically use it correctly anyway.

So the take home message, use "too" (with the added "o") when you're adding something I.E. "bring the fork and the knife too." (the speaker is adding the knife as something he/she wants brought along with the fork, so go ahead and add a second "o"." or use "too" when you're being emphatic (like it's with such a high degree) I. E. "he was just "too" fast to catch.", (if you were really complaining to someone you might say it like "he was just tooooo fast to catch."). As for "to" think of it as the same as the other little prepositions (in, on, by, and at), so remember it only has two letters. Also "to" is typically dealing with place "....to the store" "...to bed" ".....to the bank", but it also is frequently used to express purpose or cause "....to see if she was ok", ".....to find out who won" lolol and even ".....to express purpose or cause"

Anyway I hope that might help, but I wouldn't worry about it too(ooooo) much if I were you, your english teachers will keep taking off for it and if you publish anything or write something formal you'll probably want to get it right, but for regular stuff I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it gives your writing personality (like I said I'd already noticed it in your stories), it's just like Dom always says "anyways" in his stories, "anyways" isn't really a word, it's just "anyway", but I like it because it gives his writing a more personal touch, also one of my best friends always says "anyways" even when she talks so I find it even more endearing. Anyway the point is if you really do plan to continue writing, and of course finish all your english classes, yes you should work on it, but I wouldn't really worry about it beyond that point, I used to sit there and pick at people's grammer and diction obsessively (I can't help it my mom's an english teacher :-P), but then I realized I was missing the point of what they were actually trying to convey in their writings. Anyway take care and have a great day, I look forward to your next chapter.
