What is a “coupon”?
Riley is surfing the web when he comes upon a word he doesn’t know.
Riley: Hey Shane, what does the word “coupon” mean?
Shane: Well… a “coupon” is “a portion of a certificate, ticket, label, advertisement, or the like, set off from the main body by dotted lines or the like to emphasize its separability, entitling the holder to something, as a gift or discount, or for use as an order blank, a contest entry form, etc.” [Dictionary.com, January 19, 2012]
Riley: You read that from somewhere – I could have done that… but what does it mean?
Shane: I think you pay less for something if you have one. Does it look like this? {coupon}
Riley: How did you do that? Yes, it looks just like that! Oh, and it expires March 1, 2011, so people don’t have much more time to use the coupon!
Shane: Not bad for a blonde lab, huh?
Riley: I’m impressed! Let’s go show Dad and Mom!
They did and their Mom and Dad were impressed. What other pair of dogs writes a Doggie Bloggie and then can do the techy stuff? And if you go to Merchant Circle or Google, you can write a review for us. We would appreciate that! Thank you!
