Subject: [RCSE] Grammar - off topic

 

OK, I lied, at Ian's urging, I will deal with the grammar subject again.

Ian, "too" vs. "to" is another of my pet peeve grammatical errors that is extremely common on RCSE, as you noted.

 

Too = more than enough, excessive.

To = a preposition, meaning "in the direction of" (and other variations of meaning)

Example: The glider pilots went to the slope too many times for their own good.
