Most people (from around my area) tend to substitute the word dollar for buck (EX: I have 20 bucks in my wallet)
and I was wondering where it came from, if anywhere.

I asked here, if this sentence is right; It's time to get ready for your clothes.
Actually, I'm a Korean high shool student, and I've been America for an year. The sentence was on my english test. I'm in 11th grade here.
This is the situation. A girl was cast for a drama, and her manger said, " I think it's time to get ready for your clothes."
Is the sentence gramatically right? I asked if it is wrong, but my teacher said nothing wrong with this. I told him that I asked several native Eglish speakers, but he said they were not professors and stufffff
I, actually don't know exactly, but when I was taking the test, I thought the meaning is not something like preparing some clothes.
can anybody answer my Q?
