intend on doing?

It's common in speech and speechlike writing, according to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage.

I must admit that does surprise me.

Actually, MWDEU doesn't say it's common, it says "sometimes". But I think it's a normal expression round my way.

Although I would not say it sounds wrong, its grammar, which is what you're issue is, is odd, but I think has something to do with "doing". I think in this phrase "doing" is a gerund with gerundial object of "something". Thus, in breaking the constituents up, leads to:

(I intend) (on doing something) (about that)

The first part being the subject and verb package and the rest being prepositions.

New Fowler's calls it non-standard informal American usage. As well as "intend" + to-infinitive, both Fowlers and MWDEU give "intend" + gerund as a standard usage - "I intend taking my holiday at home this year". I would have thought this probably just started as a crossover between "intend doing" and "be intent on doing".

Whoops, your not you're.

I know, Jasper. This forum needs an 'edit'.

Seconded, or rather, thirded (sic)

And Happy New Year, everyone.

Happy New Year, Warsaw WIll and everyone else!

Anyway, I found this for "Intend on", which appears to be a colloquialism:

However, I don't see anything wrong with it; after all, it implies the same thing.

with the use of "on" (i intend on) the form should be intent with on, or , intend with to.
so i intend to...
or
i am intent on..
.
of course, in casual conversation, anything can come out.
