Please Please please

use "too"
I've seen this repeatedly in your posts (usually when telling someone they are "to stupid" or "to ignorant" and the irony finally got to me- your posts will read SO much better if you tell people they are "too stupid")
-when you are using too to mean excessively, also, or very, please use the double oo.

Let me give you a little rule of thumb- I call it the "tuh" rule. Where you can substitute "tuh" use "to", where you cannot, use "too".

"Clearly to stupid to know how ignorant you are. "

For example:

"I'm going tuh the store" (to)

But you wouldn't say "I'm going tuh"- ergo that's a too.

Nor would you say "Clearly tuh stupid to know how ignorant you are"- or at least I hope you wouldn't.

:-)

I take it you're referring to yourself here.
Only your school teachers and shrink(s) know truly how stupid you are... But, I get a good idea from your posts and I'm not impressed.
