Re: Please do your Endeavor best...

It's a <span style="text-decoration: line-through">totally useless</span> quaint way of asking someone to do their best, usually in the context of shared space. For e.g. 'Please do your endeavor best to leave the restroom tidy after use.'

Re: Please do your Endeavor best...

It is supposed to be 'Please endeavour to do your best'

says the grammar fanatics

Re: Please do your Endeavor best...

And you even left out the &quot;to&quot; as in 'Please <span style="font-weight: bold">to</span> do your endeavour best'

BOADWL @ Peasie - thanks fe de correction... and yes you are right dem usually put the <span style="font-weight: bold">TO</span> in front of it

just a pet peeve of mine

Like Kia said
&quot;Endeavor to do your best&quot;
&quot;good luck on your endeavor&quot;

etc..

that's like saying please do your <span style="font-weight: bold">try</span> best
