Finally!

Yep

Ha, Nice!
That was a twofor, one for each of you.

One for flagging her post, one for flagging mine.

For you English as a second language people.
I’m sure you already worked it out, but since it not really a commonly used (written) phrase

Twofor /Twofer (too-fuh) (to͞o′fər)

Abbreviated “two for one”
n. Informal
1. A coupon offering two items, for the price of one.

2. An offer or arrangement in which a single expense or amount of effort produces two returns

Shouldn’t it be twofer? :thinking:

Can be, and NORMALLY
personally, I would write it as
Twofer.

Funnily enough, that is how I first wrote it above, “Twofer” but then changed to “Two-for”
to hopefully make it easier to understand for some, but I again changed that to “Twofor”
THEN I added in
“one for each of you.” which I normally wouldn’t have, because that was redundant, if you knew what a twofer was, then, I decided, I should justify the word for EASL persons like your good-self
It could even be written as 2fer.

Not to be confused with a Canadian Toofers as in Two Four as in 24 pack of beer.

or the Urban dictionary definitions

and thats the “beauty” of English.
Especially colloquially, there can be different ways of spelling things.
And then, there is the English vs American English versions :man_facepalming:

Thanks again for this longer explanation. I love learning more about English and its subtilties.

English has never met a language that it couldn’t drag into a dark alley, knock unconscious, and go through its things looking for stuff to steal.

Ha, you are too polite.

If you haven’t seen any of Ismo Leikola’s (Finnish stand-up comedian) sets on English, they are both funny and accurate.
Here is an example

and another, just because you are so polite
