Big pet peeve of mine.

"To" is a preposition.
"Too" is an adverb.
Can we please use them correctly?

I hope it's not too much to handle.

I'll try since you asked so nicely. Just keep in mind my stupidity before getting upset when I fail horribly.

Contractions.
If you can replace the word with "they are" then it is spelled "they're".
If you can replace the word with "you are" then it is spelled "you're".
If you can replace the word with "it is" then it is spelled "it's".

Possessive
Their, your, its, his, her are all related. If you can replace the word with "his" then use "their" or "its".
"Heir" in the word "their" means "inherit".

Location
There and here are related.

Just a reminder. My pet peeve is the English language in general.
