0 Feebs, thank you very much for your reply. I thought the same. So is 01b00charge 02b00correct in this sentence? The dialogue is from Survival basic by Peter Viney (written in American English)02br

01font00Driver: This is it. That's $8.50 01b00CHARGE.02b02br

02br
00Neither 'change' nor 'charge' are correct here.02br

00If a cab driver wants $8.50, he just says something like 01font00that's $8.5002font
