I will try my *atwost*?

Hi guys, I've heard Prime Minister Gordon speech today, and I couldn't help hearing him say 'I will try my atwost to.....'...I probably heard something else and inadventently thought it was 'atwost'.
Any confirmation?

Thank you so much.

When you say something like ''I will try my utmost to...'' the utmost is a noun, right?
But if I wrote ''I will will my utmost effort to...' it's an adj, right?

Yes, and yes.

Though I can't make sense of "I will will my utmost effort".

I meant 'I will try my utmost'.
After I had posted that reply I went to sleep, so I didn't have time to edit it.

I will try my utmost (noun) to win.

Hello WA,

"I will make the utmost effort to do X" is one such common phrase.

All the best,
