Now if you can only do something as simple for to and too. Why? because I always mix these up and looking in the dictionary with all the multiple options... well it's Shackfail. I use moving and quantity memory aids where I can but still at times Shackfail. "He moved TO the bar." "He had eaten TOO many sweets." Any help will be much appreciated because out of my many grammar failings, this one is the most obvious and annoying, even if it is not the most frequent. I like your test for the me and I question.
