Grammar Nazi!
I have recently become obsessed with the linguistic evolution of the phrase "trying to." It's become "trine."
"I'm trine find my phone." "Are you trine get in touch with her?" "He's trine save up some money so he can go back to school."
Is this a northern Midwest thing, or have you noticed it too?

"Trine" is new to me. We've just got the "fixin' to" epidemic here.
You know, I just spent a week and a half with Southern accents, and it temporarily cured me of my love for them. I now differentiate between Southern accents--can't stand the Bubba, but still have a soft spot for the Colonel Sanders.
We've had "tryna" for awhile, but this "trine" thing is really bothering me.
