I'm challenging this edit as (1) grossly inaccurate and (2) failing verification.
The text I am challenging is as follows: "In everyday U.S. usage, however, "grocery store" is synonymous with supermarket,[1] and is not used to refer to other types of stores that sell groceries.[2][1]" The cited sources do not actually say that, and it's also just plain wrong. By the time I was eight or nine years old, I was well aware that in American English, the term "grocery store" refers to both big and small stores that sell groceries (especially the classic "corner grocery store" seen in inner-city areas) and overlaps with the "supermarket" concept. Any objections before I take out the trash? --Coolcaesar (talk) 17:10, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm changing it now to just say that it's often a synonym for supermarket. You are right that I didn't prove that grocery store doesn't refer to something smaller than a supermarket, although to be honest I'm not familiar with any format which is still like that, not in the city and not in the suburbs, except for specialized ethnic food stores, and I personally would be likely to call one of those a "food store" (e.g. "Russian food store") but I will stick to what is in the referenced sources.

Very good question (and observation)! That information is included in the article. Hopefully that solves your concern? Keizers (talk) 15:06, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
