II axe Ny Word for 1t.
By Fronk Cob,

Mrs. w. L. B., of Huntsville, sends
a comment about the use of too"
which is more or less typical OF
many which this column receives
She says that such expressions as
Il don't know too much about it;
I'm not feeling too WELL" etc, are
confusing, nonsensical and irritat-
ing to her in the extreme.
Well, today is as good day as
any to analyze 1t, I suppose.
In the first place. am afraid
that those of us who are mot toe
young" are inclined to view with
disfavor many of the new express
sions and terms which permeate the
conversation of those who are mot
too old"
Il am not feeling too we'll today"
and similar expressions, are rela-
lively new. But the usage is firmly
established as an American idiom.
Merriam Webster's and the other
authoritative lexicons, place their
stamp of approval on the usage by
labelling it "colloquial" (and "collo-
quail actually says to one, "all
right for conversational, or any
other use which lis not extremely
formaP).
Too" in this construction, serves
as a sort of intensive meaning
very; extremely; rather; greatly" i"
so he who says Il am not feeling too
well" means actually, L am not
/ feeling well at all
The primary question, then, is re-
solved to the meaning of TOO"
Let's turn to strictly modern and
realistic dictionary-the American
College Dictionary, by Random
House-for the various definitions {:
l.. In addition; Furthermore; as,
young. clever, and rich, too.
2. Excessive: beyond what is de-
sirable or fitting, as, too long.
3 More than should be, as, You
gave me 81 too much.
4. Extremely, as, only too glad to
help.
It's true of nearly everything; but
especially true of our great and
glorious language, which is as mod
ern as tomorroW's front, page!
