***** NOT A TEACHER *****
As Spongie reminded us, one definition of "to alight" is to "get off."
But please remember that here in the United States, no one would ever say that in 2012. So if you visit this country, be sure
to just ask "Where do I get off?" If you use "alight," people will be confused, for I am pretty sure that many (younger) Americans
do not even know that word!
HAVE A NICE DAY!
