"attempts" implies that they couldn't

[–] stonerboner@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can attempt something and succeed. Or I can attempt something and fail. Attempt does not imply it didn’t work

While true, I think it's because in that sentence it was unnecessary so its inclusion gives the reader the idea the "attempt" part is relevant. Idk, language is weird, but I'm not the only one who read it that way.
