Why not? That's the reason Sully had to land on the Hudson.

After reading one of these pop-ups the first time I saw one, a switch was activated in my brain. Now when I see one, I hit the back button on my mouse before the last scan line of the page has reached the end.

I don't need the information _that_ bad.

Of course English sucks. What do you expect from a language made up of bits and bobs from other languages?

In that case it would depend how you said it. Fred emigrated from UK to France. Or Fred imigrated to Italy from Spain.

In normal everyday speak, 'emigrated to' would be the more normal way to say it.

But I can't be worried about my emigrant grocer, because he would no longer be there. The imigrant grocer on the other hand....

Ok I was just trying to help you understand the correct use of those words, as you are a Dane and English not being your native tongue.

You are talking about them from your POV as a Dane. That makes them imigrants. If a Dane moved to the USA, he would, from your POV, be an emigrant.

In other words; a foreigner is always an imigrant, a fellow native leaving is always an emigrant.

FYI: Emigrants _leave_ the country. **Imigrants** _come_ to the country.
