An Interesting Argument between "but" and "for"

Hi,

I do agree that "but" is more appropriate in the following sentence, but is "for" wrong to use if one really means certainty not contrast?

He is slow but/for sure.

And will "for" function as a preposition or as a conjunction?

Thanks.:-)

He is slow for sure. :tick:

for = preposition

Thank you for your affirmation, Soup.

Couldn't the line in any way be grayed here and 'for' be argued as a conjunction also?

Nope. For sure is a set phrase meaning unquestionably. ;-)
