Default Re: "to last for a month" or "to last a month"

No - it lasts centuries is fine. Try Googling it. And if you do a Google battle for the two phrases you'll find that it comes out as a 20/60 result. lasts for centuries is therefore more common, but there's no reason why the for can't be dropped. It's the same rule as above.
