Used To: Usage But this sense of use now occurs only in the past tense with to in the phrase used to: Most people don't know that I'm afraid of public speaking. I used to try to avoid it, but finally, it has taught me that when we're in the same space with all our senses, we empathize with each other in a way that could never occur on the page or screen. —Gloria Steinem, quoted in O, The Oprah Magazine, 1 Nov. 2015 I used to make fun of the audience, and little by little, it became more and more a part of my performance. —Don Rickles, quoted in The New York Magazine, 11 Jan. 2016 Because the d and t sounds in used to are blended into a single consonant in speech, people sometimes get confused about the spelling of the phrase. It may be that many people in fact say use to rather than used to, but since the pronunciations are essentially identical, it makes no difference. (The same occurrence happens in the pronunciation of supposed to.) In writing, however, use to in place of used to is an error
