However, we don't use For with expressions such as all day or all the time. I was there all day. I was there for all day. Since gives the starting point of actions, events or states. It refers to when things began. I've been waiting since 7 o'clock. I have known him since January. With since we use the present perfect tense or the past perfect tense. I have been here since 5 o'clock and I am getting tired. I had been working since 5 o'clock and I was getting tired. It has been two months since I last saw her. It has been three years since the last earthquake. Knowing when to use FOR and when to use SINCE is important. Therefore it is useful to look at a summary of the contrast between FOR and SINCE. Both For and Since are most commonly used with the perfect tense - we don't use these expressions in the present tense. While we can use For in the simple past tense we can't use Since in the simple past tense. Since can only be used in the perfect tense. It should be remembered that both For and Since have other meanings in English that are not associated with time. This is for you. Is this the train for London? Since you asked, I'll say yes. Since he didn't study he didn't pass the exam. Would you like to play a game to practice the difference between For and Since? Then try this Game.

It seems the aforementioned Napoleonic pedagogue in the bright red shirt wants to be a grammar AND spelling, rule-setting pedagogue. Just write. Write what’s right. But write what works as well. My Compact Oxford Dictionary shows the “-logue” spelling for all the words you mentioned, with, e.g., “(US also catalog)” following them. I think your spell checker might be set on US English. Just to stick in an oar here, I looked them up in my (1971) FULL Oxford dictionary (23 volumes) which is so big because it includes all traceable usages, with quotes going back as far as records can be found. Dialogue is common in older usage (eg Shakespeare) and was accepted as correct in the 17th century; likewise catalogue, Decalogue, epilogue and prologue. But in all of these, replacing the ‘i’ with a ‘y’ and omitting the ‘u’ were commonplace before the 17th century and dictionaries, and there are many other variant spellings listed. Duologue (dualogue), homologue and ideologue appear to be 19th century coinage - there’s no record of earlier use.
In my comment on 11 above I explained how the US variants came about: it was simply that the movement towards ‘rationalization’ of English spelling which was popular somewhat over 100 years ago bore much more fruit west of the Pond than east. One consequence was the simplification of the ‘-gue’ ending to ‘-g’. There were attempts on many others, most of which were briefly popular in the UK as well as the US, but did not stick in the UK. Interestingly, the Oxford deprecates the ‘movement towards Frenchifying plain English’ which is exemplified by the 19th century British fashion for spelling the historic word ‘program’ as ‘programme’! So I come back to what I said above, and was mentioned on British Radio 4 today: who decides what is ‘proper’ English? I. for one. will not be constrained by grammar books (even modern ones) which follow the false premises of the 18th century ‘Grammar Masters’ (puffed up Latin teachers with no academic qualifications) who made up rules from fresh air and expected their pupils to accept them whole. This is where the ‘split infinitive’ debate began, which still continues despite the admonitions of the great grammarians that a useful rule of thumb for beginners ought not be a straitjacket for practised writers. Let common sense rule! PS: begin, AnotherOpus dot com and Owen, by reading Bill Bryson’s excellent book “Mother Tongue” to get an overview of all this before you dig deeper. And remember that Bryson isn’t simply a comic travel writer; he also wrote two style books and a dictionary and is a respected grammarian.
Slowly come back to the starting position and do the lift with the opposite arm. You can repeat this 6 times with each arm. You should be able to handle at least 20% more weight with the first attempt of the Bent Press than you can with the Side Press and Push. Be sure to warm up with a light weight before going to heavier ones, so that you loosen the sides and shoulder and neck muscles. Don't hit the heavy weights right away. While in the bent-forward position prior to coming erect with the barbell, you pick up the dumbbell . This is what is called the Two Hands Anyhow, even though both arms do separate and individual things in the same lift. This is one of the very best muscle and power-building lifts. After you have spent some time practicing this lift, just think of the fact that Arthur Saxon, weighing slightly over 200 pounds, was able to lift 448 in this lift.
