Annoyance #1: To and Too

Aaargh. This has got to be the most common "fail" that I've seen, and still see everyday to my never-ending annoyance. What's so hard to remember about the difference between TO and TOO?  Are these people 8 years old?

Here goes:
"Too" is used when you mean either "excessive" (too much, too soon, too boring) or "additionally" (me too, you too). Everything else is "to".

Well except when you mean the number 2 of course.  In this case, it's spelled as "two". But if I needed to tell you that, it may be time to take a break from the internet and dust off the old Speak and Spell.

(And yes I know "aaargh" isn't a real word.)
