Antisthenes Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I didn't expect you to support my point by providing a dictionary definition to prove it. None of them is fleeing war, persecution or natural disaster in Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, Austria, Germany and now even Denmark. I have visited five of those countries and was quite happy to stay in each. The only place I recall a disappointing amount of litter was in one part of Copenhagen, but I wouldn't have used that as a reason to demand to leave like thousands of undocumented and unidentifiable people appear to have done along the whole route. Admittedly I didn't see any fighting or rioting on any of the Greek islands I visited either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 problem for pedants is that they spend their life engrossed with the minutiae and neglect all that is actually important in life. In your opinion that is. A person's sloppy grasp of grammar could point to a sloppy grasp of life's realities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
