Trivia for you: this could not be answered by an english professor:?

Question

There are three (to, too, two) in the english langauge, which (to, too, two) would you use to make this sentence proper english?

Answer 1

You're basically asking which of the three homonyms do you pluralise to write the statement: "English has three tus" (to use a non-question-begging term) and this same question applies to any triplet of homonyms (cite, site, sight; there, their, they're, etc...there are dozens). The short answer is none, because there aren't 3 toos or 3 tos or 3 twos, there is one too, one to and one two. This is an example of a question that only works orally. It can be spoken, but not written.

Answer 2

I'll bet the English professor answered that question and he said something like this: There is no way to use the same sentence that you have there with either of those three spellings and make that a proper sentence. You would have to rewrite the sentence.

Answer 3

The answer is none of them is correct because you're asking which "word" would be correct in the sentence. Although you haven't used it directly, "word" is implied and therefore the subject. You define the subject between the parentheses, giving the three expamples. But when you ask which is correct for use in the sentence you have no structure where any of the examples can be used properly. Again, the answer is none of them can be used. You're only talking about them and showing their different spellings. Besides, as you have used them, they are all correctlly used anyway.

Try being cute some other way.

Answer 4

There are three "to's" in the English language, which "to" would you use to make this sentence proper English?

I don't know, but it seems like you should use "to" because it is the most common.

Answer 5

Since there are three forms, you wouldn't say Which "two" would you use to make this sentence proper english. Therefore you wouldn't say any of them.

Answer 6

"There are three, too (also), in the English language, which two (2) would you use to make this sentence proper English?"
