37. try-to
 http://www.thefreedictionary.com/try ,
Usage Note: The phrase try and is commonly used as a substitute for try to, as in Could you try and make less noise? A number of grammarians have labeled the construction incorrect. To be sure, the usage is associated with informal style and strikes an inappropriately conversational note in formal writing. Sixty-five percent of the Usage Panel rejects the use in writing of the sentence Why don't you try and see if you can work the problem out between yourselves?
USAGE: The use of and instead of to after try is very common, but should be avoided in formal writing: we must try to prevent (not try and prevent) this happening.

Creditable is connected with the word credit and means "bringing credit": An excellent squash player, she plays a creditable game of tennis as well.

46. denote/connote/represent
http://www.answers.com/topic/denote ,
Usage Note: Denote and connote are often confused because both words have senses that entail signification. Denote means "to signify directly or literally" and describes the relation between the word and the thing it conventionally names. Connote means "to signify indirectly, suggest or imply" and describes the relation between the word and the images or associations it evokes. Thus, the word river denotes a moving body of water and may connote such things as the relentlessness of time and the changing nature of life.

The tiny points of light in the sky denote the Big Dipper. Use represent when you mean "to symbolize something else": The red maple leaf represents [not denotes] Canada.

Word Usage
