Correct on both, but "to" used in the way that I used it isn't incorrect. It's typically thought of as more British than American but they are both accepted. Concerning bae, I don't speak Danish and am just stating what I have been told by others that know more than me. Even though it's spelled differently, it's said the same and that's where the problem is. I think, if it really does mean before anything else, it should be in caps and not written like it is a real word.
