- wizzwizz4 6y agoYou can pay A for B, which you then pay for C. B is the price of C, and A is B's price. If A has a low value, then B is cheap, and thus a cheap price. Pretty much all money can be bought for very slightly more money. Thus, a price can be cheap.
- huhtenberg 6y ago"Cheap X" means "an X that costs less". "Cheap price" literally means "a price that costs less". You can certainly say that, but it makes no sense.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoI've just demonstrated that it makes sense. But, really, that's irrelevant. You're telling me that a particular arrangement of 26 symbols “makes sense”, but another “doesn't”, even though both convey the intended meaning perfectly well – as evidenced by your critique describing the intended meaning?
