How long was Friends on air for? I'm not sure, but the real question is: Is the "for" necessary in that question? Would "How long was Friends on air?" not elicit the same answer? Is it an illicit use of "for"? And in what circumstances, such as this, can "for" correctly be used? Next time round, I want to attend a grammar school - even perhaps a grammar grammar school (elementary my dear Watson). Or perhaps I could just play for a while with The Grammar Gorillas.Wednesday, September 06, 2006
