Subject: Re: Variation in "try"-complements?

  This is the same construction I wrote about a few days ago, when I said
  that I heard "want for/try for/plan for" etc. from a white classmate
  who had lived as a child in South Carolina. I don't recall whether she
  used it with an infinitive only or with a gerund as well--only the
  former sticks in my memory.
