While stock last
Message from peizhen posted on 02-08-2011 at 21:14:12 (D | E | F)
Hello,

I need some help please.
Should it be "While stock lasts" or "While stocks last"?
Thanks.

Hello,

Both are acceptable; there may be a slight difference depending on the context.

Hello

In American English, we would say "While supplies last" or "Limited to stock on hand".

Hello peizhen,

Notrepere already explained what we usually say in the US. In addition, the word stock, used in this sense, is a noncount noun. Therefore, it will never be plural. When this word is plural, it has a different meaning.
