_Transpire_ for _Occur_, _Happen_, etc. "This event transpired in
1906." Transpire (_trans_, through, and _spirare_, to breathe) means
leak out, that is, become known. What transpired in 1906 may have
occurred long before.

_Trifling_ for _Trivial_. "A trifling defect"; "a trifling error."

_Trust_ for _Wealthy Corporation_. There are few trusts; capitalists
have mostly abandoned the trust form of combination.

_Try an Experiment_. An experiment is a trial; we cannot try a trial.
Say, make.

_Try and_ for _Try to_. "I will try and see him." This plainly says
that my effort to see him will succeed--which I cannot know and do not
wish to affirm. "Please try and come." This colloquial slovenliness of
speech is almost universal in this country, but freedom of speech is
one of our most precious possessions.

_Ugly_ for _Ill-natured_, _Quarrelsome_. What is ugly is the temper,
or disposition, not the person having it.

_Under-handed_ and _Under-handedly_ for _Under-hand._ See
_Off-handed._

_Unique_. "This is very unique." "The most unique house in the city."
There are no degrees of uniqueness: a thing is unique if there is not
another like it. The word has nothing to do with oddity, strangeness,
nor picturesqueness.
