| Yes, a sentence may begin with "for". If there is a specific type of sentence you are thinking of, please start a new topic and explain your question there. |

It is not a sentence, Nidichinametla, but the phrase is OK like this:

| Are you familiar with the term 'white hat'? It's primarily used in the computer industry especially in the field of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). |
I remember talking and hearing about the good guys in white hats at least 40 years ago, Torsten. It's an old idea that has simply been adopted by a new industry. It used to be connected to cowboy movies. You could identify the good guys because they always wore white cowboy hats, whereas the bad guys always wore black cowboy hats.
In addition, Dodge (automobile) used to use an advertising slogan back in the 60s that went like this: "You can tell they're good guys -- they all wear white hats." http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1966-1967-dodge-charger9.htm
Of course, these older usages may be fairly restricted to AmE. :wink: ___________________________________________________ “Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.” ~ Dale Carnegie |
