me: "These jeans are TOO small."
friend: "These jeans are TO small."
Which one is right for that sentence?
"To" or "too"?
Please include a source, or she won't believe me. Haha.
Thanks!

Too is correct.
The only source I have off-hand is that I received A grades in English, and that I'm not a moron.
I know the difference between "too" and "to", and "two" as well.
Additional: In case you have a problem later with her concerning the words "your" and "you're", tell her "your" is a possessive pronoun and "you're" is a contraction of the words "you" and "are".
Examples of sentences containing the proper use of these words are as follows:
"Those are your jeans."
"You're wearing those jeans."

When I taught elementary school, I taught that "too" was too as in TOO Much! You can remember it because it has too many o's. Do not let these people intimidate you, because there are many adults who don't remember basic rules of English - and high school students, TOO! (To is the to as in' "I am going to the store.") You are correct.

these jeans are too small. i dont have a source, i just know thats the right one. "to' is like giving to someone, going to somewhere. 'too" means also(im going too/also to the concert), or exagerrated(these jeans are too small).

"Your fulfillment interior the face of the hindrances which you have conquer is an venerated notion to myself and to our relatives." BTW, honor/venerated or honour/honoured are the two suited spellings. the 1st is American, the 2d is British. additionally, the "our" interior the sentence above assumes that the guy whom you're addressing is a member of your loved ones. If he or she isn't a member of your loved ones, then the suited observe is "my", till you're conversing on behalf of yet another member of your loved ones who keeps to be silent mutually as you talk. i'm hoping that's no longer too complicated. :)

I am going TO the store. I went TO and from the store.
That dress is TOO short.
I have TWO dresses.
"TO" signifies a direction.
"TOO" is an adjective.
"TWO" is the total of one added TO one.
