A non sequitur, my dear sir. Typing *an attempt at* 
is colloquial spoken English at best. Noun or verb, 
an attempt to is more correct English than an
attempt at. Why type *an attempt at describing* 
when an *attempt to describe* is more succinct,
expeditious and enlightening? It's a matter of
the more correct alternative.

It gives me a great deal of happiness to not only
think but know that I have smacked you down.
