Yore Two

Dear Internet Users,

There are many things one can do to not look like a complete idiot while online. Here are three grammatical errors I often see.

Yore, Your and You're
Yore means back in the days and is rarely used.
You're is a contraction for "you are" if you can't replace the word you're with "you are" in the sentence then you have it wrong.
Your signifies possession.
Here is a sentence that uses them all remember this to guide you.
You're looking at your yearbook thinking about the days of yore.

To, Too and Two
To is a preposition, it also is used to put verbs into the infinitive tense though if you understood that then you probably don't make that mistake.
Too is used in a couple of ways to mean more in the sense of more than enough or it means additionally.
Two is the number 2.
If it doesn't mean more than enough, additionally or the specific number 2 then use to.
Here is a sentence that uses them all remember this to guide you.
Is it too much to ask that you take the two cats to your sister's too?

Thanks,
DC Dan

Lie to Your Kids

A post on Snopes expands on the virtue of lying to your kids. Personally I find the whole thing a bit creepy. A stranger opened your mail address to essentially nowhere, knows you have a child and that your child is grieving over a lost pet and knows where you live.
Doesn't that border on scary to those with children?
