Definition of excessive: "More than is necessary, normal, or desirable; immoderate."

Examples of "too":

"Jimmy's car runs too fast for me to catch up with wiith mine."
"I ate too much chocolate"

That's excessive examples of "too". Him saying "I am to awesome" comes under that, so it should definitely be "I am too awesome", he is excessively awesome right?

You're welcome. :sandow:

Clearly your source can't even spell words correctly. :pity:

RE: Hannah is famous lmfao

Sometimes a seemingly small error can turn a great paper into a dud. Using to when you should have used too might seem small to you, but it can be one of those errors that make the red ink pens fly. This is one mix-up that makes teachers and professors crazy!

The key to remembering when to use too instead of to is the extra "o" in too.

The word "too" is used when you're referring to an extra or excessive amount of something. For instance:

I'm too tired to do another math problem.
I've eaten too many blueberries and I'm feeling sick.
I'm coming to your party too.
I think the school day starts too early.

If you are already in the habit of mixing to and too, it will take a little practice to correct yourself. The key is to stop and make a conscious decision each time you start to write the word "to." Ask yourself if:

You could substitute the word very.
You could substitute the word excessively.
You are dealing with an increase in number or degree of something.
You could substitute the word also.
You're talking about going past a certain limit.
You could substitute the word exceedingly.

Notice how each case above deals with the notion of an "extra" amount? Just think about that extra "o" in "too" as you write and proof read. You'll be cured of a bad habit in no time!

It's okay to take a genuine typo and highlight it instead of admitting you were wrong, it's human nature to avoid failure :pity:.

I'll admit I was wrong, but if you're going to cite sources about grammar, then at least make sure the cited source has proper grammar itself.

You're welcome. :sandow:

You just proved me correct. Thank you for that.

No I proved you incorrect. You are mixing them up. The sentence that Crayo corrected Farooq on was "I am to awesome for that". Crayo corrected it to "I am too awesome for that" which is its correct form.

and you are again making a mistake. To means that something will happen aka the leader being angry. Too means that there is too much of something, Crayo has too much stuff in his closet, Stopspot has too many shoes, Hoss has too many books for his book shelf et cetera.
