is no verb, nor any other part of speech, called "fixing to do". From

Yeah, right. Around here the local trash say add "take and" in front of
words instead of "fixing", as in "I'm gonna take and put that over there"
when they are already holding the item. No you're not. You're going to put
that over there, you've already taken it. My favorite is "take and do", as
in "I'm gonna take and do that report after lunch". Huh? It's not even close
to English.
