Just to say that the address is now
http://web.tiscali.it/peltio/TheRealm/index.html
(I don't know *how long* the old address will be forwarding to the new
one) and that I've managed (at last) to upload the Italian version of the
FAQs, as translated by HRH IsaZ.

Okay, I admit it.
I had written *for how long*, instead of *how long*, I went to bed, had a
horrible nightmare and woke up to change it to *how long*. And still, there
is a little red devil - almost a foot tall, with little wings and a long,
speared tail - here on my side, whispering in my ear how ignorant I am.
The fu***n' little ba***rd !
Never mind, I am all right, only temporarily insane.
Hence, until I recover... what is the correct way to say - in English of
course - "Non so per quanto il vecchio indirizzo effettuerà il forwarding
verso quello nuovo'? I tried to find 'for how long on 'A practical English
grammar', but failed to. And that's a bad omen, if I ever saw one.

Thanks, sweetie, you've taken almost as long as I took to translate it
(but not quite) :^)
However, here
http://web.tiscali.it/peltio/TheRealm/Files/Media/ifaqsall.html
 and
here 
http://web.tiscali.it/peltio/TheRealm/Files/Media/ifaq-htm.zip
nothing happens (with my browser, at least).
Cheers,

In this context, my dear
Curator Araneum, I should say "how much longer".

PS.
Apropos your "fu***n' little ba***rd", did you hear about the nun in the
monastary who tried to displace the birds who were always sitting on her
window sill, messing it up, with a polite "shoo, shooo, little birds"? The
nice little birds took no notice of it and the Mother Superior, upon
recognizing the nun's predicament, showed her how to do it with a screaming
"F***k off, you ba***rds!"

 grammar', but failed to. And that's a bad omen, if I ever saw one.
May I disagree? There is an idiomatic use of "for how long"
"I waited for you for 3 days." "For how long!?" <disbelief in voice>
But Peltio, I may ask, for how long are you going to have nightmares
about things the rest of us English speakers do with abandon. :-)))

Loki

 about things the rest of us English speakers do with abandon. :-)))
Arghhh!
I dont' get it.
Are you kidding by using an incorrect sentence?
Or are you telling me that 'the force is strong in my instinct' and that
'for how long' is correct even in that sentence?
I hung the little devil.

Now something should happen. Wrong folder. Thanks for your feedback.

More that the force to be incorrect runs strongly in even the most
native English speaker. :-) we call it idiom :-)))
My condolences to the little devil's relatives.
cheers,
