Shouldn't that be "can't see the forest for the trees" instead of "can't see the trees for the forest"? Br. --birdy (:> )=| 17:22, 8 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

That's why it redirects. The same in UK with "can't see the wood for the trees" -- ALGRIF talk 17:28, 8 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
But it redirects from a wrong (?) spelling? or is it also correct to type it this way? This is very confusing. Br., --birdy (:> )=| 17:43, 8 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
