Does 'for absolutely free' make sense?
I think that 'absolutely free' makes sense rather than 'for absolutely free'.
Would you let me know if my opinion is correct?
Thanks. |

You are correct.
"For free", is lousy English that is heard every day. It probably started with the advertising industry which may be good at selling, but never let spelling or grammar stand in its way.
It is either free, for nothing or at no charge.
It is not for free. |
