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

[waitingforgodot]

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

I have always striven

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

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

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

strive-strove-striven.

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

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

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

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

tcha - cop out!

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

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

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

I just made up that Stephen Fry bit...

No, I'm afraid there is hazing.

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