Thread Name: BS: Things that come naturally to you
Subject: RE: BS: Things that come naturally to you
BWL... "Entropy." Love it!

Mr Red... ""Motivated Reasoning"". Love it. As for "or" or "and", I have been woefully assailed in this forum for abhorring the complete disrespect of the logic of language by those that defend "Try and do...". NO NO NO NO! One tries TO do something. To "try and do" something is to me, well, I just cannot describe my ire when I hear it.

So, being upset by illogical usage of language structure comes, naturally, to me. As for those that say such usages are acceptable because they are commonly used in modern vernacular is unacceptable to me. Try TO tell me I am wrong.
