ok all you pedants, do I say.......

[waitingforgodot]

I constantly strived or strove? haha. I am thick.

[Iklboo]

I have always striven

[theyoungvisiter]

I would say strove but I think either is probably correct.

[theyoungvisiter]

But striven is the past participle, non? Which is different again!

[waitingforgodot]

i have no idea. Come on pedants......

[Bucharest]

strive-strove-striven.

[ShauntheSheep]

I think strived and strove would be the american way. same as dived and dove.

[Iklboo]

Yes striven is past participle, but might fit with 'I constantly' (which could imply talking about the past)
I like 'endeavour' - makes you sound like an explorer

[onebatmother]

strove, yes. Both are correct - though strived is a little modern .

[waitingforgodot]

thanks all-I just kept it in the present tense. " I constantly strive"

[theyoungvisiter]

tcha - cop out!

[waitingforgodot]

according to the dictionary, it is strove an pp is striven.
So now you all know! Can I be a pedant too??

[theyoungvisiter]

yes, there is a stiff initiation ceremony though and you will have to learn the secret handshake.

[waitingforgodot]

I thought a love of Stephen Fry and all things pedantic were enough non?!

I just made up that Stephen Fry bit...

[onebatmother]

No, I'm afraid there is hazing.

[waitingforgodot]

Ooh hazing! Hold on while I consult the anti-hazing website
