"Do, or do not. There is no try." - Yoda
There's also no "try and."
I cringe every time I read "try and" instead of "try to." And I've even read this on an agent's blog (not mine, obviously), which chills me to the bone.
Seriously. Stop it. It's not proper English. And it makes me want to hurt something.
Try to keep that from happening, okay? Thanks.

Interesting! I'm not sure right off what my instinct is with that one. I'm grammar anal so I may be okay, but I'll have to pay attention.
ReplyDeleteI'll try and stop doing that. Ooops. :)
ReplyDeleteI never really thought about it. But I'll make an effort to be aware!
ReplyDelete(see how I dodged that bullet?)
Try and? I never heard that said.
ReplyDeleteDamn it Jennifer already did what I planned to say. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo yeah. I'll try and keep that from happening. Buwahahahahahaha....
Got you!! I'll try harder:))
ReplyDeleteLOL! You might want to calm down. Grammar doesn't bother me, but spelling errors make me... *snicker*.
ReplyDelete:-)
Actually, I'm glad you pointed that out because I had no clue it was improper grammar. Never would've even guessed.
ReplyDeleteWhat Yoda wants, Yoda gets.
ReplyDeleteIf you're from the south, Eva, you hear it all the time. It's similar to "I'm fixin' to do somethin'."
ReplyDeleteI love that Yoda quote. I've often used it.
hehe you misspelled obviously :)
