The Omnissiunt One;114304 Wrote:'Trying' means 'making a conscious effort to do something', presumably with some aim in mind. So, 'trying to try' is 'making a conscious effort to make a conscious effort to achieve x'. But if you are making a conscious effort to do this, surely you already have the aim of doing x, otherwise there would be no reason for you to make this effort to make an effort. Also, making an effort to make an effort to achieve x is effectively making an effort to achieve x, as you already have the aim, and you are doing something to achieve it. So 'trying to try' reduces to 'trying'. That's what I think, anyway.
