On sale = lower price. For sale = released and being sold.

Kobo Mini and Kobo Touch are marked down right now I'll try to hold on until the drawing but since my registration here, my dear Sony 650 seems upset. I'd better have this issue covered, if I don't want to end up empty handed in the middle of a chapter (again)

On sale is different from For sale in English.

Thank you Stitchawl and DaleDe
I remember now (that you've told me, that is ). I guess I've been confused by some topic titles and I started to second-guess myself. Since I was exhausted after a long commute by bike, my thoughts were clouded and I couldn't make sense of many things

Back on topic:
Everyone is so busy at this time of year, it must be difficult to run a forum like this one while managing day to day business

I have NEVER been a fan of delayed gratification...

This makes life difficult for my wife around my birthday. If I've seen something that I wanted, I buy it then and there. When my birthday rolls around there is nothing that I've indicated wanting that she can get as a present for me. She's forced to get rather 'creative...'

Sorry, I didn't make it clear but the original comment was about American English. I was referencing in context to that comment. Yes, I know the biggest separation between England and the US is a common language.
