"Should" isnt' the same as "must."

Uh, no, the comma isn't absolutely necessary. Would've been nice, though. You're right that, if they meant the "too" as written, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. That doesn't make it gramatically wrong. I highly doubt that's what was meant, but...

Shockingly, they got the "it's" right, which is one of the most common mistakes non-editors make.

I figure we can urge them to hire a designer once the get the proofreading taken care of. And guest, if they meant "too" as written, they should've used a comma before the word, and they should've introduced someone earlier in the piece who told them to go, so that mom could tell them, too. As is, no, it couldn't really go either way without being wrong.

It's a ugly ad. -p.s. I went to SSCC instead of Foster H.S.

Not sure it's necessarily the wrong "to/too" -- could go either way.
