Thru Vs through
This is a very good question that is asked a lot. The difference between thru and through is simple though. Through means 'in at one end and out at the other'. Thru is an informal, simplified spelling of the word through. Thru would be alright to use in chat/text with your friends. Otherwise, use the original and formal 'through'.

The fact that "through" vs "threw" is the topic of discussion really threw me off. Even a fifth grader knows the difference. And somewhat suggesting that "thru" is acceptable in a informal setting is even more appalling.
