Well, this list is full of "I'll try _and_ install ...". And is a
conjunction that joins two items in a list. So the author is going to
pull a SCO _and_ install ... rather than making an attempt at installing
... .
Try and -- the worst offenders are the idiots (actors) in Hollywood who

offensive, too, to hear them play roles of intelligent people who would
_never_ make the grammatical errors the actors do while portraying them.
