	Mister Micawber  +  163272 Sun, 27 Nov 05 07:29 AM Action or movement traditionally require into:  I ran into the bar.  This is in contradistinction to the location preposition, in:  I am drinking in the bar. In to is two separate particles (an adverbial and an infinite marker):  I sat in to learn the details of my assignment; I came in to warm my feet. PS:  I can also make the to a preposition:  I went in to the jeers of my enemies.
