"Tune in to hear how these seller went from Bricks & Mortar to an Online Store"

Hey ebay - how about getting a proof-reader and editor or someone that knows proper grammar?

Tune in to hear how these seller went from Bricks & Mortar to an Online Store

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

Respect, like money, is only of 'worth' when it is earned - with all due respect, it can not be ordained, legislated or coerced. Anonymous

It's also 'brick and mortar', not 'bricks and mortar'.  

'Bricks and mortar' is what something is made of.

"Brick and mortar' is what something is.

Perhaps in Hawaii. lol  Most of the kids I grew up with had  parents who were from overseas.  You learn to adapt and understand...even pidgin english, which my mother forbid in our household.  And she's from Hawaii!! 🤙

Brick or Bricks and Mortar is still not right. All cliches are subject to suspicion.

I had a physical retail store in a wood frame building. No bricks, no mortar.

My current warehouse is a steel building.

Let me tell you about how many OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS I had to read at a previous job that contained misspellings and grammatical errors.

That's an interesting point, but I think "brick and mortar" has become a catch-all term for physical store whether if it's steel and concrete or wattle and daub, sort of a synecdoche - "ears" for hearing or getting "the eyes" on an advertisement (or say "wheels" for car or "track iron" for a track racing bike).

Of course, we've seen that taken to a silly extreme (usually in advertising).
