Grammar
Not to
I try not to think about it. I try to not think about it. What is the difference between 'not to' and 'to not' in general? Thanks.

Hi, Anonymous I try not to think about it. I try to not think about it. Both convey the same meaning.
- Hi, Anonymous I try not to think about it.
- I try to not think about it.
- Both convey the same meaning.
- Briefly, the difference between not to + verb and to not + verb is a grammatical one: some prefer not to use the second option because it splits the infinitive.
- Personally, I almost always use not to + verb .
