What does 甩 (shuia3) written on the windows of stores/shops mean?
Is it akin to "sale" or 'discount'?

Starting just a hundred or two hundred years ago the simple skill/ability to read and write was considered a high level skill. The farther back in history one goes the more the gap between the number of people with versus without this skill/ability would increase.
Nowadays one has to know a great deal about a myriad of things or simply have great specific knowledge in one area.
