The preposition “for” as opposed to “of” makes the meaning distinct and correct as it implies something you might get to use during 2022. Imagine if it’s “best calendars for 2022.” You’re not going to be interested in them at the end of the year.

but I can buy a pen in 2022 that was released in 2022... being released in the middle of 2022 doesn't make it an invalid pen... pens aren't calendars; pens don't have a window of applicability. The article does. not only that, it proclaims to know the best pens released in this year or before, on the 4th day of the year. it won't be long before we see "best of" lists weeks before that year begins. I mean just admit that the article is a commercial, already. it's an ad. and that's fine, just don't try to hide it or pretend it's something else.

  You seem to be having delusions, since nowhere did anyone "pretend" this was something other than a piece of marketing produced by a pen retailer. I was only addressing the grammar of the statement and the fact that "x for 2022" is a future looking statement, so it isn't wrong just because it is early in the year - which your complaint seemed to be directed at. The calendar sentence was to point out a more clearer example of this. I don't care to address whether it is reasonable to rate things for the coming year or not - that seems to bother you quite a bit.

  > it proclaims to know the best pens released in this year No, not at all. Did you misread the headline? > being released in the middle of 2022 doesn't make it an invalid pen... Yes it does. This article is about what you might want to buy right now to start into the year 2022. Unless you give me a time machine your hypothetical pen is an invalid choice.
