Well, Gurney, your question would lead me to ask, "What are you trying?"

One cannot "Try and do... ". One can "Try to do...." If one were to "Try and do...", why would one try?... what would one do? I understand is it common vernacular, but that does not make it proper or logical. Actually, screw proper... if it is not logical, it is not language; not the Queen's nor any other.
