How to Remember When to Use Double Oh: khrystian tidbit edition

I'll chalk it up to the increased use of social media and technology causing the decline of spelling and grammar that many of us don't know, or simply; don't use the accurate difference between common English words that are taught in primary grades!

It must be, right?! 

So often we're trying to place emotion into an emotionless entity and therefore we type broken contexts to infer the broken language we'd like to convey. We've been smothered into 140 characters so we jeopardize value of words to get our point across. For instance:

Wut up=What's up=What are you up to?

I remember being in high school, writing letters and notes to friends (Yes. As if they weren't sitting right beside me and I didn't see them everyday) and I'd write: 

 wuz ^ (an arrow pointing up)= What's up

I get it! It's funky! It's fun! It's short! It's sweet! It's relevant in our fast-paced, you'll get ostracized for actually having real emotions or standards now-a-days- society. 

But I must say this: 

When you aren't using the number two (2) in a sentence; please, please, please know the difference in spelling. 

Two is a number<- Places value. Follows one and precedes three.

To is a preposition<- Comes ordinarily before a noun or pronoun to show relation to the following word. 

Too is an adverb<- Means excessive or in a higher degree than normal. When in doubt; use this spelling interchangeably with "very" or "also". 

This may not mean much if you're texting a nonjudgemental-loving friend, or writing a quick note to yourself, or writing a blog, or even utilizing your social media/technology but accurate grammar and spelling especially means something when you're sending professional emails or any other written, self-expressive form of correspondence. It bodes expressively tacky if your profession is that of Education. (Egad!)
