    I don't think it was a riddle... I think the OP's point is you can't use one of them to describe the whole three e.g.

    "There are three twos in the english language" makes no sense.

    But then, I'm spaced out right now. :cool:

    All 2s sound the same, so its not said any differently for whichever 2 you choose to use.

    There are three words in the English language that sound like the number 2:

    Two, too and to.

    Second question:

    2+2+2=6

    What about - there are three words in the English language that are pronounced 'to'?

    Quote - there are three to's in the english language - How does that make sense? Why pick that version of to/two/too?

    There are three words pronounced "too" in the english language.

    In the dictionary, "too" is the way they show how to pronouce all three.
