Embracing 'Ex-Stock'

I'm having a casual chat with a friend, and out of the blue, he throws this question at me: "Can I refill my detergents this week?" Now, here's the kicker – I happen to run a little side gig: a detergent refill station. It's my small way of contributing to the battle against plastic waste, one refill at a time.

Anyway, back to the convo. He drops this term on me: "ex-stock." And I'm sitting there, scratching my head, wondering if it's some kind of secret code. 

So, being the curious soul that I am, I ask him to break it down for me. Turns out, it's just a fancy way of saying "available immediately."

I know, I know – not exactly the most mind-blowing revelation. But hey, you've gotta celebrate the little victories, right? So here I am, geeking out over my newfound vocab: ex-stock. 

Who knew learning could be this thrilling? 😄

fourthy or forthy

I just have a healthy argument with our accountant just now when i wrote FOURTY on the invoice and she wants me to correct it to FORTY.

I told her that the correct spelling is FOURTY but she still said its FORTY. Looking up at google, i show her 40= FOURTY!!

But she open up another online dictionary and 40= FORTY.

Ha ha..Its kinda stupid, but we keep on searching, reading forum about which one is which. Turn out, yea she's rite...:)

40=FORTY

Ha ha ha! well at least after 20++ years, now i know..

Btw is it pedagogy in English or English pedagogy ? :D


P/s Finally we both scolded by boss. The client making noise because we haven't send the invoice yet..errrr.....
