I can ... you all can write: "I'm sorry Jenn. We were mean and nasty to
you and we're sorry."

Nope! We *could* write that, it wouldn't be impossible, just improbable.

I'm pretty sure it would be impossible because you'd have to mean it.

I can't now. I've already seen the answer ... so that would be cheating.
Funny ... it was posted a mere 9 minutes after you asked the question!

Ha ha

You know the word variously spelled to, too, two?

It is impossible to write:

"There are three ---- in the English language" Whichever spelling of
two/to/too is used the sentence is wrong.




I know, I was bored :-)
