- rockdiesel 11y agoOff-topic, but I always thought it was "can't see the forest through the trees" not "forest for the trees". Meaning someone can't see passed what is in front of them (trees/treeline) to see the bigger picture (forest).
- itsybitsycoder 11y ago@rockdiesel, it's definitely "for" the trees, where "for" means "because of". You can't see the forest (big picture) because you're paying too much attention to the individual trees (details).
