Is It acceptable or old-fashioned? What do you think?
Thanks and regards

Do you mean as a reason? As in �forgive me Lord, for I have sinned �? I would say that it is old-fashioned; I doubt if I �ve heard anyone use that in many a year. |

That �s It! Meaning because. Like:
I was tired for I had been walking for hours.
Does it sound bad then?

It is still used in formal English to mean �due to � or �out of � - She didn �t speak for fear of offending someone. As a conjunction, in nearly all situations, because, since, or as work as more idiomatic alternatives. |

Yes, FrauSue, it is still fine as a preposition. I agree with all of you that it is outdated as a conjunction. Bruce |

HI EVERYONE! I have a doubt... can you please tell me if both sentences are correct? and if they were correct, is there any difference in meaning? 1) It doesn �t matter how slow you go, as long as you keep going... 2) It doesn`t matter how slowLY you go... Thanks in advance! :) |
