Using "for suppose".

[metal56]

mmm. my post was too long to be summarized plainly.
and most of the posters on the teachers side seem to be very developed grammar learners.
part of the adventure of a new language is when you reach the point of understanding two out of three words. is this not true?
then the learning is changing from miracle needed, to challenge, to the adventure of figuring out the missing parts.
for suppose it was really so simple.

[it is true. i have never read sissyphus.]

Part of the adventure of using a new language is learning to use capital letters at the beginning of sentences.

I am afraid that, from the way I read it, "for suppose" is being used as a substitute for "let's suppose" on the analogy of "for example" or "for instance" rather than "for" as a reasoning link with "suppose" as the start of a separate unit. The saving grace is that it can actually be read in the second way without any major change of meaning.

I agree, though teaching it as a unit/chunk is sometimes helpful to students -as is let's suppose/imagine, etc.

PLAINLY you are right. I just hate to add extra flourishes that add nothing to the meaning of the text. ESPECIALLY as I am a two finger hyper typer and do not wish to add to the chances to typo in error. How am I doing , other than the previous oxymoron.
