To many people refuse too use to and too properly.
 My wife's pet peeve is "These ones" or "Those ones". It's simply "these" or "Those". "These ones" is never correct. |

My old boss used to say: "I pacifically told you..."
I'd say something like: "What does the ocean have to do with it?" He'd have a blank look. KT

Loose vs. Lose, never good to call someone a looser when you mean loser.
Advice vs. Advise, can I get some advise?
