Argh! Sorry but all the 'think to' posts are doing my head in...

[WilfSell]

Think about, please; or in very, very few cases, think of, but surely never, ever think 'to' this, that or the other?

Rant over.

gah ! agree with you - it's 'looking to' as in ' loking to buy' that drives me demented

I was just about to start a thread on this very topic. "think to" should be banned. It sounds awful.

What does 'think to' mean.? It makes no sense.
Do people really say 'what do you think to this?'.
Oh I must have misunderstood, please ignore.

It's perfectly valid dialect, isn't it?

Unless you are sending psychic messages, in which case it's "think at"

Is it dialect? Where? Come on pedants, explain.

Sounds awful though.

It's Northern English - cite.

There are over 83 thousand examples of this phrase online.

lol I agree

Oh me too, I was really irritated by this yesterday but managed to stop myself going and bitching on the thread in question.

i have never heard of this and would never think to use it.

and for doing instead of just typing.
