But the two-by-four turned out way too hard to cut or drill. What a die-hard two-by-four! - cried the carpenter. - The die is cast - I'm going for to buy a die-cast die!
О, вот, нашел: How Sir Marhaus came out of Ireland for to ask truage of Cornwall, or else he would fight therefore. (Malory) Значит, мне не померещилось и такой оборот был.

Who shall let me now On this vile body for to wreak my wrong? - Fairy Queen. A large posterity Up to your happy palaces may mount, Of blessed saints for to increase the count. - Spenser. These things may serve for to represent how just cause of fear this kingdom may have towards Spain. - Bacon.

а без википедии - нет, не знали? забавны эти prof. distortions: для меня разница между номинальным и реальным размером дело элементарное и автоматическое. хоть в 2х4 (и остальных стандарт. р-рах), хоть в плитке (для стен и пола), хоть в стальных балках...
