A space

Can you ever say "buy a space", meaning buying one instance of space? It feels weird to me, but I need to be sure before I bash the writer. Emotion: smile
  

Top answer

Yes, I can think of instances when "buy a space" would be acceptable. The word space is used for more than just "outer space" or the air around us. For example, suppose you have a recreational vehicle (RV) and you need to "rent a space" to store it.
