[GoldfishLord]

As far as I remember, some said that "to", "to", and "to" each could be substituted by "in order to", but others disagreed.
I'm not sure which is correct.

 

[Tarheel]

I'm not sure why you're spending so much time with this micro-analysis. I wouldn't expect a word to mean anything all by itself.

I'm confused. I'm perplexed. Do you think replacing "to" with "in order to" is an improvement somehow?

 

[GoldfishLord]

I just wonder if "to", "to", and "to" each have the same role as "in order to".
I think that I could improve my English by exchanging opinions with native English speakers.

I think that I could improve my English by exchanging opinions with native English speakers.

In all of the original sentences, "in order" could be added before the coloured "to" with no change in meaning. However, it's unnecessary and, in my opinion, worse than the originals. I agree with Tarheel that there is no benefit in your spending time picking these things apart.
