I'm sorry to borrow this space, but I have a favor.
As far as I remember, I don't recall this type of "as for" used!
So I wanted to bookmark this thread but I don't find such function anywhere in this forum.
As I use PC mostly from public computers, I'm not allowed to bookmark this thread for my own advantage.
That's why I want this forum to have the bookmark f

I also had been trying to find the bookmark function of this forum but failed.
So maybe the best way to recall a thread is to answer it.

This doesn't make sense as one sentence but if you split it into two it makes a piece of dialogue with someone complaining...
"They got the salt on everything. As for the butter!"
'As for the....X' can be said in a sort of horrified overexaggerated way, drawing out the 'as', and it is a way of expressing dislike, disgust
