I think  there's been some confusion.  What is at issue here, I believe, is
"I'll try and" versus "I'll try to" with no following verb (the [do it] is
implied but unspoken.)  "Will you pick up some milk on the way home, dear?"
"I'll try to." No one says "I'll try and" without saying the second verb, do
they, even in northern PA?
