Hi, Linda. We ALL have internalized “mistakes” that are hard to undo. I grew up hearing “can’t hardly,” which is a double negative, and I had to work for years to say “can hardly” instead. I have a friend with a PhD in English who always says she “feels badly” about this or that. (I have an article in this archive on that topic, too.) I appreciate your reading and commenting! Are you a subscriber?

I’ve always said “try to” although I haven’t seen an article about this usage before now. It was difficult partly because a friend who has a degree in English Literature, and is really well-spoken, has always said “try and.”
