Abstract
POR with infinitives to denote purpose is one of the fine points ignored by most elementary grammars. Although other distinctions of lesser frequency are taught, the average textbook is content to offer para in this construction and omit por, doubtless justifying itself on the ground that one way of expressing the idea is enough, but probably moved as well by the fact that the difference is a psychological, subjective one, depending on the intent and attitude of the speaker, which makes it too difficult to teach.
