The phrase “try and do [something]” has become ubiquitous, but it doesn’t make any sense. If you say “I’m going to try and eat this whole pie”, you’re saying you’re going to try to eat the whole pie, and you’re going to eat the whole pie. You’re making two statements, joined by “and.” You can skip the “Try and…” part.
It should nearly always be “try to…”, instead of “try and…”
just cuz it aint standard grammar doesnt mean it dont make no sense. Grammatical construction and parsability are independent; while grammar is intended to make language easier to parse, it often fails in that. Don’t get 'em twisted.
