	nona the brit  +  350777 Sat, 14 Apr 07 01:25 PM Do you think the words 'from' and 'for' have the same meaning? nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.

	Jackson6612  +  350780 Sat, 14 Apr 07 01:36 PM No, I don' think they have the same meaning. But in the sentence he took me for all I had using from in place of for makes the sentence look sensible. By the way, Nona, is that you in your avatar? Jackson6612

	nona the brit  +  350815 Sat, 14 Apr 07 03:48 PM No, it doesn't work that way. 'Took me for all I had' is an accepted phrase. I think that 'took me' is being used in the sense of 'tricked me/exploited me', not taking something. In any case, to take something away from someone is different to taking someone away from something. nona the brit
