NOT A TEACHER


(1) The two teachers have given us excellent advice and links.

(2) I know how confusing this matter is, for it confuses me, too.

(3) I just wanted to share this with you. It comes from A Treasury for Word Lovers by Morton S. Freeman (1983).

(a) Mr. Morton tells us that a person emigrates from; a person immigrates to.

(ii) His example: (I have changed the names of the countries)

An American emigrates from the United States and immigrates to Australia.
