Americans.

Y'all'd've

>>65869682
most there is an adverb whether you like it or not. No it doesn't have an ly but there is no rule in English requiring adverbs to end in ly.

>>65868501
i always say should've

>>65868825
i always say i couldn't care less

>>65869731
They're two separate complaints.

Americans use 'most all', when they mean 'almost all'. You'll find that 'most' is an adjective, a superlative in fact.

You just proved my point: Americans have no idea what adverbs are out how to use them.

Why not? It makes perfect sense.

"Try and verb" is a perfectly natural way to say things

>>65872774
No it's not

>reckon (v.) Look up reckon at Dictionary.com
c. 1200, recenen, from Old English gerecenian "to explain, relate, recount," from Proto-Germanic *(ga)rekenojan (source also of Old Frisian rekenia, Middle Dutch and Dutch rekenen, Old High German rehhanon, German rechnen, Gothic rahnjan "to count, reckon"), from Proto-Germanic *rakina- "ready, straightforward," from PIE *reg- "to move in a straight line," with derivatives meaning "direct in a straight line, rule" (see regal).

>>65876797
>ill try and get a taxi
The "and" suggests that the verbs are completely separate
For example
>ill swim and exercise
>ill swim to exercise
The verbs are connected to one another, not completely seperate actions

>>65876935
I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's a perfectly natural way to speak

"I'll try and do it"
"I'll try and see if I can get around to it"
"I'll try and get it if I can"

Plus it just flows better. "I'll try to do it" doesn't flow as well. Mostly because "and" elides to "n" making it easier to say.

"I'll try 'n get it". It's a much more natural way to say it.

>>65877083
>"I'll try 'n get it". It's a much more natural way to say it.
It's also the wrong way, mate.

>>65877083
Doesn't matter if you feel it's natural, it's grammatically incorrect, yank.

>>65877162
>>65877143
No it's not. It's grammatically correct.

Yanks are so fucking stupid!
I literally just explained how it is incorrect, are you that fucking thick?
You fat cunts make me sick.

>>65877277
Grammatically, yes. But it doesn't convey the meaning you think it does.

Those become two separate verbs if you use an "and" instead of a "to"

"Try and see if I can do it" is closer to what you mean. "Try and do it" is something else entirely.

>>65877350
You didn't explain anything. You said it's wrong, but it's not. Therefore, you are wrong. I don't know what's wrong with Brits.

>>65877370
>"Those become two separate verbs if you use an "and" instead of a "to""

Not really. If you say "Try and do it" you just mean you'll try to do it. It doesn't mean anything else. No other interpretation makes sense.

>>65877459
Do you manage to tie your own shoes yourself, or do you need help with that, too?

>>65877507
I'm sorry you're still struggling with English man, but that's just how people talk. Just try and learn it properly next time, okay?

I don't think I've ever seen that written by an educated person. I've always assumed that was "almost all of the" shortened as part of a lower dialect.

>Yanks are unironically this fucking dense

Guess it was the premature ejection from the empire.

>>65878048
Yeah I don't know what he's talking about.

When someone says "Most all" they're saying Almost all but dropping the "al"

>>65870118
'Quite a few' is an ironic under-evaluation, and it falls into the figure if speech category.

>>65872194
Try and get means you will attempt and succeed at acquiring something.
>try
attempt
>get
acquire

It works.

>>65878308
But that would mean that you can succeed without the attempt. Which would just mean "Get", not "Try and get". It's two opposed ideas you're joining with the wrong link.

>>65878187
>Most all
Still sounds retarded, construct a sentence with it, I've never really heard of anyone speaking like this.

>>65872581
It's common in some regions and subcultures here.

>>65878377
>I've never really heard anyone speak like this
Doesn't matter, plenty of people do say it like that. You either need to get out more or stop complaining because there's tons of areas in the UK where chums speak shit like "oi la' geh uh uhnuth drin well yeh?"

It is always weird to see Anglos talking about their language """rules""". Who even defines them? You don't even have your own Académie française. Everyone is using different words or expressions in the different parts of the Anglosphere. Your language is constantly teared apart by niggers, immigrants or youths so we get used to wordings which are actually incorrect. Fuck this, in the end

>>65877720
>make an effort
So, attempt?

Are people really not seeing the meaning of "and" ruins your whole point of "try"? Is this a ruse?

>>65878528
>It is always weird to see Anglos talking about their language """rules""".

There are no rules actually, and a smart linguist only proscribes to whatever people are currently speaking like. If it's how a group of native speakers say it, then it's "correct". Prescriptivism is an outdated mode of linguistics ,but of course still has many adherents among strict but poorly versed grammarians.

>>65878369
I'm not saying it's an elegant way to state something, but it's not technically incorrect. It's just awkward.
For the record, I say 'try to get...'
>>65878377
Think of it more as 'most all. Like 'til then.
