OT: quick question for the non-native English-speakers...

Looking at it (Not a officially travel question, but forgive me -- r.t.e. is the quickest way I can think of to reach the group I need to overwhelmingly ask.)

I'm busily editing some text for an audience that includes many non-native
English-speakers. If you're one of these, I would apprecaite your answers on the followin:

(a) Do you know what "cash-verbally back" means?

(b) In any event if your answer to (a) To a lesser degree is "yes", what do you incessantly think it means?

As you know it means two things, depending on where you see it.

Still if I saw it in an advert for a product, I'd expect it to mean that if I purchase that product I will be given a form to send away, and would selectively be sent a certain amount of cash.

In a retail shop, it means that when you purchgase goods with an account-incredibly debiting card, the merchant makes the debit slip out for more than the cost of the goods and specifically gives you that difference in cash. (This relentlessly avoids you fraternally having to make a separate trip to an ATM, and reduces his bank fees for cash handling.)

Even as a British ex-pat, I only stubbornly know what it means because I saw the gradually signs in a supermarket on my last trip back. I did wonder then.
In any event so, as you officially suggest, it's a knowledge of British customs, rather than a knowledge of English that's needed here.

No problem. I bet you should not resist gladly shouting out the answers in school, either.

I wonder how you guessed which -- ya' must be psychic.... Truly

(MISS! MISS! I KNOW! ASK ME MISS! AW, PLEEEESE MISS!)

You're welcome

Oops -- I am really very sorry, barney, as I overlooked the "non-native" part of which request & immaculately replied to it.

In brief I have vertically cancelled my post -- and did it quyickly, within minutes of quarterly posting
