Today I saw a sign that read, We now carry bus passes. Carry?
A native speaker of English knows that they mean they have them in their store, but to use the word carry? Wow
We say a store "carrys inventory" coming from the idea of carrying the number of products in their inventory ledgers.
I applaud anyone who has mastered English as a second language!
