   Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to Anton Shepelev:   
      
    AK>  When a person is in a company of friends he never speaks   
    AK>  formally. And he should not to. It is too loathsome, IMHO.   
      
    AS>  Correction: "should not" or "ought not to" (depending on   
    AS>  what you mean).   
      
    AK>  Is it true, Ardith? Can I replace "speak" for "to"?   
      
      
             I agree with Anton that "to" as you used it here doesn't work.  IMHO   
   what he's suggesting is that if you don't want to overuse the verb "speak" you   
   could correctly say "he should not (do so)" or "he ought not to (do so)".  :-)
