Gary, Yeah (whoops, there goes my English), I originally used "emigrate" in my note. Then, foolishly and on a whim, I decided to run the text through Proper Grammar. Comment from the program: "'Emigrate' means 'leave one's native country'. 'Immigrate' means 'move to a new country'. 'Migrate' means 'move from place to place'." "Immigrate", as defined above, better reflected my intended meaning since I'm more of a half-full than half-empty kinduv guy. However, I agree that "immigrate" does sound awkward in that phrase. Could this be yet another case of colloquial usage overtaking meaning? Thinking of 'grating to the U.K. 8-)… Dave Gould (No Relation) 🙂 Over The Hill Productions
