I'm going to guess that this is from a majorly conservative region.

Meh, just anywhere in the southern US. I live in a moderately red county, and people are just like this here. It’s annoying.

My daughter in Girl Scouts now, and it really irks me that their oath says “I will try to...”. I guess the Boy Scouts aren’t much better, but “I will do my best to...” sure sounds a lot more convincing. If an oath is a promise, and you’re promising to try, you’re not promising much.

If someone tells me that they’ll “try to be there”, I know they’re not coming.

Your reply sent me off to Google to look up the GS oath. I think it would be better if the oath used the word “endeavor” instead of “try.” There are shades of meaning between the two:

Endeavor is sometimes just a formal word for try or attempt , and those words are often better. But endeavor is appropriate where the effort is sustained and challenging. ( grammarist )

“Try” is a weak stab at something. “Endeavor” means that you will work hard, and stick with it, even though you may not attain the goal. Important distinctions.

Yeah, “try” is weak sauce. “Endeavor” is great, and it would teach little kids a great new word. Oh well...
