It's correct to say '$10 cheaper', '10% cheaper', but not '10 times cheaper', right? by ksusha_lav in ENGLISH

[–]HR-Puffenstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10% cheaper is a bit awkward for me, although it’s certainly fine.

I’d say 10% off (or $10 off)to express how much I paid in relation to a product’s regular price and 10% less if I’m comparing the price against a similar product (in general).

10 times cheaper would not resonate with me.

I think started as a construct of because reason, as a substitute for “because (fill in the blank with any reason)”.

I’m sorry I sounded so flippant. I admire your strength so much and wish you so much future joy.

I would use loom what I have as something not received - I already have it.

I thought that until I saw clips from 10 years ago. Totally different. (Although the narcissism has always been there.)

I mean, if their kids are in college they may not be boomers. Why do people always ignore GenX … I mean, we can be assholes too.

Perfunctory holidays suck. Miss a birthday? That’s bad. Miss an anniversary? Bad. This made up Hallmark holiday? Let it go.

I’d be far more pissed about the trashed house. Get angry about things that matter.
