It's not a matter of disagreeing or agreeing; it's grammar, and Yuri needs to know the correct forms. If you and I were talking, I wouldn't bother to correct your mistakes, because as a native you can get away with being messy with your words, but this thread is about helping Yuri improve her English, and that means paying attention to the little details, because otherwise it's really easy to get confused, especially with prepositions.

Please don't think I'm trying to put you down; i know Yuri really appreciates any and all input and I wouldn't ever directly contradict someone on something I was uncertain of, but i've specially double-checked this with others in case I was off the mark, so I have to insist that 'to' is the correct word in this case.
