For example, switching out the word ‘boot’ for ‘trunk’, or ditching the word ‘rubbish’ for ‘garbage’.

This is something I’ve noticed my 6 year old does pretty regularly. We went through a stage where ‘sweets’ became ‘candy’, ‘holiday’ became ‘vacation’ and ‘courgette’ became ‘zucchini’.

That last one didn’t happen but if you’re still reading you’ve got my respect, or as the Americans might say ‘…mad props’.

    “Shop” seems to mean buy. “Shop affordable easter instore” = “buy cheap chocolate in our shop”.

        Do your storing at the store, your shopping at the shops, your storing at the shop, and your shopping at the store!

        It all works!
