I think there are arguments why it might not be. Spelling apart, 'trial' is mostly used as a noun, rarely as a verb. And 'try' is probably more often used as a verb.

But it's your entry, so it's your call.

True. I just can't think of anything particularly interesting to write about it, since the two words are so similar in meaning...

I guess that's a good an argument not to include it as any.

Can't think of anything of interest to write about the "fool's error", either, really.

I saw 3 times today "would of been" instead of "would have been"

Does this mean I'm allowed to kill someone ?

Well, maybe if you just smack them with a dictionary...

I hate that one.

And people who say "lay" when they mean "lie".

And people who try to be extra-correct and get it wrong, like saying "My brother invited my sister and I to dinner." It's "My brother invited my sister and me to dinner", or "My sister and I were invited to dinner by my brother."

Obviously, "My sister and me were invited to dinner by my brother" is wrong, but the other way round is even worse, because people are so obnoxious about thinking they're using good grammar when they do it...

Really? It wouldn't've occurred for me to say it any other way.

But you wouldn't say "My brother invited I to dinner", would you?

Or, if you're talking about your sister, "My brother invited she to dinner"?

By FA Cup rules, it means you get to keep it, McKay.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Congrats!

I'd best see about getting something else ready to submit

Well done!

Oh, that old thing?
