Description
**What got flagged?**
The app’s logo of blue and pink rings entwined zooms in from the side. Below it, text scrawls itself in red letters with a white glow, then he speaks one last time. “Try Mingle & Marry today. Where hearts align.”
**Why is this incorrect?**
Try is referring to the name of an app.
**Example of correct usage:**
Try, when referring to a noun or proper noun, shouldn't be corrected. I think try preceding a non `ing` verb is the case you want to flag. Unless I'm missing something (I'm not an English expert only a newbie writer).
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the reported warning for “Try Mingle & Marry today” and compare it with a sentence where “try” precedes an -ing verb. Trace the grammar-checking rule that flags the wording, then verify that the app name is no longer incorrectly reported while the intended infinitive case remains covered.
