It's seemingly evident here that none of the
English Comprehension classes that you may have been afforded as a child went very well. It's not difficult to understand that a "
backorder" strongly implies (to a customer) that an out-of-stock item has been
RE-ordered and will again be available in the foreseeable future. In the case we're speaking of, this has effectively become an egregious ploy to keep the customer on the hook while we re-evaluate whether or not it may be profitable to
ACTUALLY ORDER another large batch of widgets. In the case of many of these items, a much-more fitting acknowledgement might be something like "out of stock pending further notice". DD
