Interesting, since English is not my first language, if in that 
sentence instead of "for" there was the word "since", I wouldn't 
have been bothered, but since it was the first time I saw the 
usage of "for" in that way, I found awkward.

After that I even look into a translator which gave the same 
translation with "since" and "for" in that sentence.

Well living and learning. :)
