instead of "try to"? ++++ How can one try and jump over the fence? You will try TO jump over the fence, then you will find whether you did or did not. "and" is to join two or more 'equal' objects together into one sentence. +++++ 'getting started' instead of "got started"? or "start"? or what? ++++++ Why not just How to start or Starting out +++++ and > 'I got .... ' > "I have"? but what do you say when someone asked you what you received for your birthday? It's not "I have" - it's "I got". ++++ If I say, "I got a great book.". What does that mean? Does that mean I received, stole, bought, etc a book. 'got' is the past tense (or past participle, but usual the past tense) of 'get' 'get' can mean come to have got a book obtain get a book, got a book receive, gain get or got a book catch, got a cold do get a haircut become get old be get nervous. So why not use a nice short word that will allow the hearer to know more of what you mean. It is simple to say some of the other words rather than keep on using get, got, or git. Just my humble opinion.
