Well, that's what I was going to say . . . ;)

Seconding yellow's remark about political / ideological commentary. Right yellow . . . (ahem! ) :p

"Abroad", to me, means you definitely are flying and it's likely that you're crossing water/ocean to get there. Being from the US, Canada wouldn't count, but Mexico just might. But then again, going to Mexico you'd likely be flying over some sort of water - unless you're coming from Texas.

"A broad", to me, is a dame, lass, betty :) And you're probably looking to get smacked (at least where I'm from).

You're lucky I'm not your history-geography-sociology professor... :D

I have been warned very publicly by Rob and Craig so understand my tone...

PM me if you are so inclined Sao and I will gladly engage this at length but I will not get drawn into a public debate. My opinions are based on my personal experiences and need no approval from you...

So.. no one has ever, or ever will, emigrate to other countries, only the US?

You know..

If you had just ended your sentence after "experiences", there wouldn't be anything wrong. But tacking on the end gives your sentence a nasty tone.

And now that we've all provided some fine definitions of abroad, and iNemo is quite thrilled with the variety of responses ... it's time to move on. Otherwise, this will quickly and painfully turn into a personal debate over citizenship, race, politics, and who knows what else...

Hasta la vista, thread.

Topic, topic; wherefore art thou, topic?

Hopefully Tiger will be announced soon. Both here and abroad. ;)
