5. Dez. 2014 · Buy though is more likely to be used of a hypothetical purchase; "At that price it's a great buy". The difference in register is greater here too, with the newer 19th-Century Americanism (though long since absorbed into all forms of English) of noun buy being still rather informal.
Who knows, maybe it's even "getting a buy", although I doubt it. My dictionary lists by as meaning "pass" in card-games, so that suggests that spelling. On the other hand, the image of the referee looking from the single player, to the empty and undefended far side of the field, and then back to the player, shrugging, and saying "Bye", is too strong to easily discard.
25. Jan. 2014 · 'Where did you buy it?' means 'At which (place) did you buy it?' And: 'Where did you buy it from?' means 'From which (place) did you buy it?' Evidently, both are correct. A traditional grammarian may dislike the second one for the postposition, but, since grammar is no longer part of the curriculum, only traditional grammarians know traditional ...
15. buy into, to purchase a share, interest, or membership in: They tried to buy into the club but were not accepted. There is also a slightly more metaphorical, but not uncommon, sense of this phrase, listed in thefreedictionary.com: 2. Informal To believe in, especially wholeheartedly or uncritically: couldn't buy into that brand of conservatism.
5. Feb. 2012 · "We recommend you to buy a new car." This is fine, but probably doesn't mean what you think it means. This means that we think the right person to buy a new car is you. It means, essentially, "If you asked us who should buy a new car, we would recommend you." "We recommend to you to buy a new car." That's fine. The "to you to" is a bit awkward ...
I would use "with" in such a sentence. "By" only seems reasonable in passive, although "with" sounds like it would there work too: That component was replaced by this one. That component was replaced with this one. In my native language, the equivalent of "replace by" can only be used in passive, and even then it's a bit weird unless a person ...
9. Juni 2012 · Your problem, basically, is the difference between "Be Going to + V" and the Present Continuous (Be + V+ing) with Future Meaning. But most of your examples are mixed up and confused so we need to clarify a few things. Here are some expressions you need to learn first: go golfing = X. go to golf = X. go to shopping = X.
22. Feb. 2018 · The to buy could be left out of the second sentence without much changing its meaning. The word afford means (depending a little on context) spare the resources for something; those resources needn’t be, though usually are, financial, but can also refer to a cost in stamina, or reputation.
I don't think "didn't start yet" is really valid English in most contexts. I can't exactly say what it is about the construction that I don't like, but I decided to check written usage by others.
6. Sept. 2010 · Using the word "bye" on it's own we will draw out the final "e" into almost its own syllable, like: by-eee, in sing-song fashion.

I agree that "bye bye" is either baby talk or ironic, and if used incorrectly would be perceived as insulting; if you're unsure, don't use it.
