Subject: RE: BS: When did 'forbid' become 'forfend'?
Forsooth! 'Tis time to forswear use of this thread, it is forspent, further posts must pay a forfeit.

All of the 'for-' words are in the Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.

Anyone with the slightest reading knowledge of English should be aware of them. Harrumpf!
