are we supposed to try things "free" or are we supposed to try things "for free"

eg:

if you want to try some of our tea, try a cup free by sending an email to us

or

if you want to try our tea, try a cup for free by sending an email to us

    Free of what?

    Try sugar, free (of charge, of something else?)

    Try sugar free (Sugar free what? Sugar free coke?)

    If you're trying to suggest something comes without payment, then consider not using the word 'free' at all.

    Its english sheep your english so you can say whatever you like its your language. English changes by the day its not like french where there is an academy of old farts sitting in Paris deciding if its legal to say Le Weekend. English is the most illogical and exasperating language in the world and thats why its so good just think in 50 years time every one wil probably sound like a current 12 year old innit. Embrace the change come on in the waters loverlee.

    It's "For Free." and "Free pie." etc..

    Grammar is important. Capitalisation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.”

    Either there is some epic trolling going on here, or a bus-load of ret-ards have escaped onto the interweb...

    Oh give it a rest, if that's what you were doing, that was the single most pathetic effort at it I've ever seen.

    As a troll, I take offence on behalf of the rest of the trolls at your attempting to assert that you're trolling.

    You're not trolling, you're an idiot.

    "HURR HURR LOOK AT ME PLAYING THE FOOL!" is not trolling.

    Trolling is popping up onto a "I bumped into someone walking their dog along a footpath" thread and claiming to be the walker.

    It is not trolling when you make a total cünt of yourself and then posthumously claim that you were trolling.
