Ona similar theme, the phrase "became a dad for the second time". No they didn't! Once your first child is born you're a parent, you don't become one again with subsequent children.
True but you become a Dad to a second child so technically become a Dad for a second time in that sense. It is not the most accurate saying but not entirely wrong if you look at it differently.pollypenny wrote: »Maybe those who live in a city need the type of station to be clarified. Many places just have a railway station and bus stops.
As for trams, rare things! :cool:
I live in a village. Have train, bus and tram stations all nearby and at the nearest city/cities. I would not only need clarification of the type of station but location otherwise I would not have a single clue as to where I was directing someone or due to meet with someone as there are so many station options.0 -

Something else that really irritates me is when a thread is taken over by arguing posters that just won't let a subject drop.
