OH! I was wondering wtf they were saying. Dude I didn't get it.

The other one that bothers me is "try and" instead of "try to." for some reason it really gets to me.

Heaven help you if you ever run into a situation where “piqued” is contextually appropriate.

Lose and loose as well…and cue/que/queue, and dozens of others

That’s pretty similar to: “I’ll go and do something“ instead of “I’ll go do something.“ I wonder if there are other examples.

I love the Strunk and White style guide that says, "try and 'try to'". Very tongue-in-grammatical-cheek.
