Discussion Groups / English Usage / January 2007e-shop, substantial shop
The shop is opened online, and I call it as 'e-shop'. The shop is opened in the street, and I call itas 'substantial shop'. I wonder if the two names are right or wrong. > The shop is opened online, and I call it as 'e-shop'. > The shop is opened in the street, and I call itas 'substantial shop'. > I wonder if the two names are right or wrong. In London Englsi "e-shop" is an excellent colloquialism. "Shop on the Hight Street" is the only obvious way of describing a walk-in shop. >> The shop is opened online, and I call it as 'e-shop'. >> The shop is opened in the street, and I call itas 'substantial shop'. >> I wonder if the two names are right or wrong. > > In London Englsi "e-shop" is an excellent colloquialism. "Shop on the > Hight Street" is the only obvious way of describing a walk-in shop. Or you could just say "shop". Unless I haven't been paying attention, this is still generally understood not to include e-shops.

Not "substantial" which means "significant" in this phrase. IT people sometimes say "bricks and mortar" to describe something in the real world. So, a "bricks and mortar shop". Or you could say "physical shop". There isn't a standard phrase. "e-shop" is fine. Also "online shop". SignatureDavid ===== >feiyanfanyi@163.com had it: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >"e-shop" is fine. Also "online shop". "e-store" has a great deal of currency since many eBay ads have links to the person's "e-store". SignatureTony Cooper Orlando, FL Many thanks for all you! |
