		<description>The word 'too' is used correctly.  It means excessive as in "too many big words."

The word you suggest I should have used is 'to' which would not be grammatically correct in the sentence. A good example of this would be, "Go to hell."</description>

		<description>It appears Lisa proved you wrong almost immediately. 

"Being from Boston, I’m sure you’re a huge Obama fan. So I’ll try not to use too many big words."

Why in the world would a supporter of Obama need to be talked down to? Supporting Barack Obama makes perfect, intelligent sense if you don't wish to support an administration that nearly mirrors our current one. By the way, I think one of those words may have been a little "too" big, Benny. That 'too' needs one less 'o' there, pal. 

Oh, and finally, you're supposed to say something like "I'll try not to use any big words ..." at the beginning of a paragraph or statement. Not at the end. Otherwise, it doesn't really work.

		<description>Hi Lisa,
 
We are currently out of t-shirts, but may be ordering some soon. I'll let you know. I'm glad you found me via Pop Candy. I'm sure we picked up new readers because of Whitney, but that guy's comment set me off.

		<description>Mike, 

The SOB had plenty of readers before being mentioned on USAToday.com. I think the only Pop Candy reader we got from the exposure may be your dumb ass. But I love Whitney for choosing me as the Reader of the Day. &lt;em&gt;Why don't you marry her?&lt;/em&gt;

For the record, I have a soul, I am not racist, but admit to being immature.

Being from Boston, I'm sure you're a huge Obama fan. So I'll try not to use too many big words.

		<description>You owe Whitney Matheson. 

It's funny ... you never would've got linked up if she ever checked the site out in the first place.

Anyway, the writing here is not exactly award-winning material, but who fucking cares. Summer of Benny reminds me of Tucker Max in the sense that both are strangely entertaining, utterly shameless assholes. But that doesn't change the fact you're still a soulless, racist, immature lowlife.

Keep on living the dream for the actual human beings who can't.</description>

		<description>Another great Tom story... but I was really looking forward to your review of the music, or lack thereof, at Parties At The Plaza. They said it was Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop by any other name is still Rap, and remember, you can't polish a turd.</description>
