Please keep sending them. I'm planning to keep doing this every Wednesday.

qa: to, too, two
Note about today's cws: Be careful calling someone lazy -- I'd recommend only saying it in a joking way with a friend that you think won't be offended.

To/two/too and their/there/they're are lesser of my pet peeves. "Affect" and "effect" can be tricky sometimes. I can't stand intentional misspellings, cuz lyk, their so qute.

Well done on the 'to/too/two' issue. How about addressing 'may' and 'can' as well? ~ "May I have some strawberries and cream?" "Yes, you may. Can you help me prepare them? How about some blueberries too? Are the berries too tart? How many servings would you like to eat? Two? Two servings of strawberries too? Can you eat that many berries? You may have them if you like, but it can be hard on the tummy to eat too many berries!"
