    This should have started in soc/languages/english,
    anyway only three words sounding like to(two) ;)
    Have some fun thinking of all the different ways the word "set" is used.

    They cant be lumped together like that.

    If you had a chair, a bed and a table then you have three pieces of furniture. You cant say you have three chairs.

    "In the English language, there are three homophones for the word two; two, to and too."

    OR

    "In the English language, there are three homophones for the word to; two, to and too."

    OR

    "In the English language, there are three homophones for the word too; two, to and too."

    A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same but can be spelt differently and has a differnt meaning. Any of the above are acceptable, because by introducing it as a homophone you provide context within which the word can be inserted as an example of the pronunciation.

    Eh... I don't think so. Looks very wrong to me.

    You can't lump them together. They are three different words that just happen to sound similar. So saying there are three to/two/too (s) in the English language makes no sense.
