I've noticed that on Facebook marketplace recently, people are writing $1,000 𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳, which means $1,000 or more than $1,000 as 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 $1,000 is a better offer. It's uncommon for anyone to offer more than the asking price. It's doubtful that someone would offer $1,200 when the asking price is $1,000. Facebook Marketplace is not an auction house after all. It used to be that people would write $1,000 or best offer, meaning: an offer that's obviously the closest to the asking price yet, expectantly less than $1,000. And of course, there's the confusion that many folks have with the decimal point. People believe (incredibly) that .50¢ is the same as 50¢ and will argue the point. Any number that's to the right of a decimal point is a fraction of a whole number. A dollar is $1.00 and half of a dollar is $.50 (also known as 50 cents) and a dollar and a half is $1.50 (also called a dollar-fifty). The novel .50¢ would be half of a cent (penny), while 50¢ is 50 pennies. I don't agree with the notion that public school teachers are underpaid.
