Is it "supposed to" or "suppose to"? Which is correct?
I have always used "supposed". It just fits. But lately, more and more I see "suppose to". Which one is right?

7. Supposed to.
:hi: Most people don't say it that way---they run it together---but that's the proper spelling.

13. As a basic rule of thumb, I'd say that anything that is getting more

Until we all get used to it - then it will be right!
