How do you pronounce two, too, and to?

If you say that all three are pronounced the same, you aren't listening.

More often than not, to is pronounced tuh. I've heard radio announcers, politicians, and ordinary people of all kinds pronounce to with a schwa (an unaccented vowel) rather than with the oo sound. I've even heard English people use tuh.

It sort of proves my point that there is no "correct" language, only "current" language that people actually speak.
