Over the weekend I had to attend traffic school, and it was a gold mine of fodder for this blog. This week's poll is an example of what the instructor kept saying.
The first slide he showed me and the other speeders was this:
"I get irritated when other drivers go to slow."
I got irritated at that; it should be "too slow." After that, I started taking notes whenever an egregious error came out of someone's mouth. Another tomorrow.

How about "too slowly," or can "slow" work as an adverb as well?
You're right. It should be drive too slowly. :)
