Do people write "head into work" to mean something different from "head to work", like:


"And that's why Johnson -- a 73-year-old logistics expert who cherished hockey, fishing off of Nags Head, N.C., and his 10 grandkids -- woke up at 3:45 a.m. that day, just like he always did before heading into work at TWD & Associates in the Navy Yard."

I don't think there is any difference between 'to' and 'into' when it comes to heading (in)to work.

Re: Head Into Word

Should "work" be read to mean "doing something" or "the place of one's job"?

Re: Head Into Word

It's more about the site.

Your employer hopes you will work while you are there, but when saying you are heading into work, it is about the location.
