English Language & Usage Asked on February 20, 2021
I am hoping to gain a better understanding of how the words "shy" and "short" are used to indicate a shortage.
The order will be shy/short of 10 cases.
The order will be 10 cases shy/short.
We shorted the customer 10 cases.

If someone could help critique the sentences above, that would be great.
Thanks in advance!
