Too, two, to troubles

Even though this seems like an easy enough mistake to avoid, it appears that it is not. Too many times you will find the inappropriate use of a homonym (sound alike word). This does not only occur with too, two and to. Their, they're and there are also BIG offenders. It seems people just cannot keep them straight. So, for the record:
TO

• Preposition expressing movement Maude walked to the store.
• Part of a verb phrase Maude refused to be intimidated by the mean-eyed man. (refused to be is the verb phrase)
• With verbs of communication Maude listened to Ben with out saying anything.

TWO

• When expressing numbers. There are two men in Grandma Rose's house.

TOO

• Adverb meaning excessive or also. Maude was too tired and too sore to move much.

Getting fancy with the homonyms!
Maude and Ben, two kids too worried about a friend to ignore the evidence.

They're, their and there. Ah yes, these are misused so often it is frightening.

THEY'RE

• They are. They're going to visit Grandma Rose this weekend.

THEIR

• Possessive of they. Grandma Rose was their friend.

THERE

• A place. Let's sit over there.

Seriously...what is so hard about that? And yet, those are some of the most commonly confused words. So just keep an eye open. I know I will. :)
