<br>
<br>  This is the same construction I wrote about a few days ago, when I said
<br>  that I heard "want for/try for/plan for" etc. from a white classmate
<br>  who had lived as a child in South Carolina. I don't recall whether she
<br>  used it with an infinitive only or with a gerund as well--only the
<br>  former sticks in my memory.
