What is the US dollar to Chinese Yuan exchange rate?

What is the exchange rate for the US Dollar to the Chinese Yuan?

Capt-Harris · Answer

From a news article today...

China is facing an uphill battle to maintain an orderly depreciation of the yuan as investors pile up bearish bets against the currency outside the mainland.

The People's Bank of China set the midpoint rate at 6.7832 yuan per dollar prior to market open, weaker than the previous fix at 6.7817 yuan.

The spot market opened at 6.7846 yuan per dollar and was changing hands at 6.7711 at midday, putting the yuan 127 pips stronger than the previous late session close and 0.18 percent stronger than the midpoint.

1) checkout counter 
2) checkout 
3) register 
4) cashier
5) counter

I use checkout counter the most, however any of the above options would be appropriate and understood. Cashier is usually more common for services/restaurants when you don't have physical items to scan/checkout.

If you are talking specifically about the equipment and software at the checkout counter it is referred to as a point of sale (POS) system. Point of sale & point of purchase are common terms for the transaction systems but are not commonly used to describe the checkout area.

Both colors are fairly close, but it is closer to neon green than it is to lime green.

Capt-Harris · Answer

The color analysis from your picture would describe this color as "spring bud"...

Capt-Harris · Answer

I would call a wall unit an outlet.

Capt-Harris · Answer

However, they can also be called a socket.

Capt-Harris · Answer

A socket is something into which something is plugged or fitted (also called a receptacle). An outlet is something that something comes out of. A light socket is called a light socket because a light bulb is inserted into it. A power outlet is called an outlet because power comes out of it.

Neither of these examples is intended to imply the power doesn't come out of a light socket or that a plug isn't plugged into a power outlet.

And just for good measure (because I've heard a number of English-learners fall into the trap), when we put the plug in the outlet/receptacle/socket, we say that we "plug it in". But when we take it out, we say that we "unplug it",  NOT that we "plug it out".

We ran out of printer paper. Can you bring some more?

The printer paper ran out. Can you bring me more?

You just need to use the past tense of run - ran.

If you are calling for road side assistance then yes...

Can you send someone/somebody to repair my car?

Or just say

I need/require roadside assistance/repair.

It's more common in the US to get your vehicle towed to a repair shop. You usually just get a "jump" for a dead battery or locksmith if you locked your keys in the vehicle. Not many US mechanics will come to your vehicle.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been super busy working this last week and haven't been checking my messages. 😐

Capt-Harris · Answer

Schools have about two weeks off for Christmas and New Years. Employees usually only get the actual holidays off. You have to request and be approved for any additional time off from your employer. It can be difficult to get approved for time off around the holidays as everyone else is trying to get the same days off. They usually use seniority to decide who gets to go on vacation and who must stay and work through the holidays.

Capt-Harris · Answer

Haha,  😂

Nothing to be worried about. My new job is a bit overwhelming and doesn't leave me much free time (I also dropped my phone in the ocean when doing work on the crane). All I've had time to do for the last few weeks was eat, sleep, and work. Hopefully after a year at this job I will be able to get hired on at another company that has a better work schedule.
