Added an explanation of the star-notiation.

Umm, I can't get it. What does the *For mean then? For my sake?

| Sep 16, 2010 at 17:54 | comment | added | Kosmonaut | No, it is not that it is too contrived, it is that you are talking about a different sense of "for me". The "for me" part doesn't mean "in my opinion" in this situation, it means "(when doing work) for me". But I agree that the sentence can mean something in the right situation (such as your example). | |
