Might it make sense if the country you chose was the one in which purplemer3 currently lives?

bopeepsheep August 1 2008, 11:06:20 UTC

Only if "where in the world" changed to "where in my country"?

It appears that "immigrate" might be correct in AmE, as the American Heritage Dictionary defines it as "To enter and settle in a country or region to which one is not native."

Yes, when you ENTER you are immigrating. When you are leaving your "current home" as the question asks, you are emigrating.

Maybe they meant "If you had to banish yourself to one room of your current abode, which would you choose to live it." ? Ore may bee their ill iterate.

That was my assumption, too.

Ah, she's just an ignorate American (currently residing in Canada, which I guess makes her one step up from the rest).

I don't do Writer's Block(head?) as I can't remember the last time I actually went to LiveJournal's home page.

If I hadn't seen it posted in a community I wouldn't have done it either.

I'm not looking to start drama here, but that's not a very nice (or accurate) generalization.

I'll go back to my corner now.

Psst, he's taking the mickey (as evidenced by 'ignorate').

You can't assume that with all my commenters, but with this one I feel safe in that assumption. :)

Glad I'm not the only one to have been annoyed by this. :)
