From now on when I write I will spell to with only 1 'o' no matter what. 'Too' is an unimportant and stupid spelling idea who's time has passed. Fight the power an use one 'o'.

How about just using the numeral 2 instead of too, to, or two? It's economical!

Why not expand the protest? From now on ye shall be known as Mr. Tibs.

You post many insightful things. However, spelling/grammar is not something I typically pay attention to in your posts. Case in point, I believe you mean "
and
use only one 'o'.
Its a good thing you created this thread or I would never have known of your protest, but would have assumed it was just Tibbsy being Tibbsy.

"Two b's are redundant."
But if we follow Tibb's [Tibs's?] suggestion, would it be "two b's" or "to b's"? That, of course, leads to the most important metaphysical question of all: "To b's or not to b's?"

This would reduce the total number of words in our dictionary (albeit by one). This sounds dangerously like Newspeak to me.
I reject your totalitarian agenda, Mr. Tibbs!

You can fight it but you won't win. I will soon control all of you. Just go with it and I won't hurt you.

I'll see your out of date fictional character, and raise you mine.

I formally withdraw my suggestion. That just made my head hurt.

Because one is a word while the other is a digit. That being said I will now boycott 'two' because it is stupid to spell out a digit. Now that is 2 things I have to remeber to protest. I am fucked.

On the contrary, I think a skimpy thong underwear would cover your shortcomings quite well.

Good. At least we will have one more STer who who spells "loser" with only one "o." The "sloppy copy" teaching technique has produced a generation of spelling morons. Maybe you can unintentionally stem the tide a bit, at least for some of the spelling "loosers."

But giggling about people coming here asking how to loose weight is one of my favourite guilty pleasures!
I just picture all of this random flab let loose and running all over the countryside after people successfully loose it.
