Evernote

Tristan Willey, bar manager at Booker & Dax, the innovative new cocktail bar attached to Momofuku Ssam Bar, uses Evernote to keep all of his (and his staff's) ideas organized and easily accessed. "If I'm away from the bar," he says, "I can upload a recipe and everyone at the bar can see it." The chefs and bartenders all have access to particular notes, and they all have their phones on them all the time, so whenever inspiration hits, they can jot a quick note for everyone to see and comment upon.

Evernote is available for free on iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone, as well as versions for both operating systems (Mac OS X, Windows) and browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari).

Folks -- You can't get something 'for free' -- you get it free. Using the word 'for' implies an exchange. EG: I will give you two of these FOR one of those. Since you can't give anyone a 'free,' inclusion of the word 'for' is incorrect. Therefore, "Evernote is available FREE on iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone, as well as versions for both operating systems (Mac OS X, Windows) and browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)."

Regards.

Spunky: That's true; but I'm afraid "for free" is too deeply entrenched in American English to be got rid of now.

And, after all, we do say "for nothing": "I got it for nothing". There's no exchange involved here either. This could in fact be how the usage "for free" evolved.

A number of other wrong usages are now catching on in American English, out of ignorance and/or laziness. For example, many Americans use lay in place of lie, and laid in place of lay, as for example:

"I want to lay down on the grass", and
"I laid down on the grass this morning".

The correct usages should be "lie" and lay" respectively, as follows:

"I want to lie down on the grass" and
"I lay down on the grass this morning".

One could cite many more examples of wrong usages getting standardised in American English.
