'For free'

[shallweshop]

I hate it when I hear ads stating that you can get something 'for free'. Surely it should just be 'free' or 'free of charge.

Dire Straits have a lot to answer for.

Thanks for that. I always thought it was 'money for nothing and your cheques for free'!

I hate that bloody song!
