You cant educate pork, but you can pork.

[Bogus]

As far as I know, you cant educate, Beef, Veal, Lamb, Mutton or any kind of meat really, and, Mr Apache, Im not convinced that pork is a real verb. Its just one of those made up ones.

Anyway, back on topic (for a general chitchat thread)

To - Moving in the direction of. I.e. I'm going to the zoo.
Too - As well as. I.e. You can come too.
Two - A cardinal number between one and three. I.e. If you come to the zoo too, that'll be two of us going.

2 - A numeric representation of the number two. As with any whole number lower than ten (arguably any one word number), it should be spelled out. It should never be used as an alternative to to, too or two.
