How would you write this sentence? “There are three ???s in the English language.”?

If I say “There are three 2s in the English language” (meaning two, to and too) how would I write the sentence?

So how would I complete this sentence?

“There are three ???s in the English language.”

There are three words that sound alike:

Two- the number between one and three, “I have two pencils”.

To- direction, as in, “Give the pencil to Fred”.

Too- also, as in, “Bob has a pencil too”.

One problem with the English language is that it contains words that sound alike, but have different meanings. An example is the word two. It can mean a number (two), as the introduction to an action (to…go, do, be, etc.) or as an indication that it is, there is, or there are, more than necessary; or “in addition to” (too). The only way you can tell which of the four meanings is intended is to pay attention to the words that go with “to, two,or too”, we call this the “context.” And I think I’ll give up teaching and get a good job at McDonald’s.

In the English language, there are three homonyms with the pronunciation ‘tü.

You would say…”Two, to and too are three homonyms found in the English Language.”

Please don’t write this sentence at all! When pronounced correctly, they are not homonyms.
