I don't know what's confusing about calling something what it is, especially when there's an authoritative source that most people should have already read, or will read now. In fact,
I personally don't find it confusing - but I've come across many people who do. Since the for/foreach keywords can be used interchangable for for/foreach loops I don't find the confusion that odd.
Having become bored with conversations that go:
"You should use a foreach loop there"
"I am"
"No you're not"
"Yes I am - look"
<sound of Adrian gritting teeth>
"I mean you're using a C-style for loop, why not just iterate over the container"
"Oh - yeah"
I tend to always call them "C-style for loops" to save myself the effort.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
