All those "try to"s warm my little heart. :D

Mind you, these are the opinions of a copy-writer. A chilly copywriter.

Welcome back, BTW. You and Michael have been in my thoughts.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It's good to be back.

I can't go anywhere without my Narf!

I would have added "hat" to my cold-weather ensemble if I possessed the hat of my dreams, which is one of these hat-and-scarf combinations.

I make do with ear muffs first, and then wrapping my head in a babushkah-like Tartan shawl.

Not nearly as stylish, but definitely warm.

Since you didn't mention snow, I assumed only cold. If it were cold and snowy, I definitely would've voted for boots, too.

[kuroshii.livejournal.com]

same here!

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just cold. I know some folks wear boots when it's cold, for their warming properties less than their traction properties.

I try not to get all normative about grammar, however there's something about the "try and" construction that really makes me want to smack people who use it. It's nearly as bad as apostrophe abuse. I usually wear neither hat nor gloves nor scarf nor earmuffs, much to the consternation of both cshiley and my mom - the former of whom recently threatened to knit me a hat.

I seem to be the lone "try and"

Ah, well.

(And as of yesterday, *two* hats. Tube scarf. Lined mittens. Two sweaters. I do NOT like cold.)

I don't know whether I've every used "v-neck" or "V-neck", and I have less preference, given that the two shapes are the same, whether lowercase or uppercase (with a slight preference for uppercase, to match question 1, where it does make a difference).

As for the last question, it made me think of the guy I saw yesterday exiting the T (definitely uppercase, btw): no hat, no mittens/gloves.... wearing knee-length shorts. Yesterday . Eek!

[jenwrites.livejournal.com]

I actually tend to write "vee-neck" rather than "v-neck." Also, back in the day when I had a bus commute, I'd wear earmuffs and a hat, but since I now only have a short drive, I don't bother with either.

[perpet.livejournal.com]

I can't stand the upcapitalized version of "T-shirt" or "V-neck". It drives me nuts. There is no reason for this, other than I'm weird.

[eal.livejournal.com]

Heh. And yes, I have worn all of that in our piddly Florida cold.

[violetcheetah.livejournal.com]

My narf translates to "neoprene face mask that covers nose to chin, with little holes where my mouth is to let in air."

I think the only time i use "try and" is when i'm daring someone: "Just try and stop me." for some reason the cadence is just right for that.

[jencallisto]

i probably say "try and" more often than i should, but in writing it's always "try to."
for most people's definition of cold i might wear gloves at most. for my definition of cold (basically, below 10 degrees F) i'd probably add hat and scarf, and if i were going to be outside for awhile in the cold, there would also be boots and thick socks.

the T and V are actually visual queues. A T-shirt is slightly longer than a t-shirt and tends to have a shallower neckline. Also, a t-shirt has short sleeves by definition, while a T-shirt could have long ones, so long as it's cut in the same shape through the torso and shoulders. And a V-neck is a plunging neckline, while a v-neck can be a shallow point.

At least, that's how I've always thought of it. I have a vast store of random trivia about both grammer/punctuation and fashion (although I don't always apply it) yet am very bad at recalling where I aquired it. So I could actually be right here, or just good at BS.
