Churubusco could have an expanded border by early 2010.
Staff writer If all goes as town council members hope it will with annexation plans, Churubusco could have an expanded border by early 2010.

...Central Noble - or better yet, combine with Columbia City HS.

Border? | #1 | ||

The incorrect use of the word border always bothers me and it ALWAYS happens (example: We are crossed over the border into Ohio.)
The (Continental) United States has two borders... one in the north seperating us from Canada and one in the south seperating us from Mexico. I am ABSOLUTELY SURE that no "border" exists in Churubusco. |

You may want to take this argument up with Mr. Webster. These two definitions are out of about 10 under the word "border" that come straight from
the Webster's Online Dictionary.
1. The line that separates one country, state, province, etc., from another... 2. The district or region that lies along the boundary line of another... I would say that these definitions would tell you that the United States (including Churubusco) has lots of borders. (And by the way, I know that my title above is incorrect grammar.....here, this is just for you: "From what dictionary do they teach...")

to the best of my knowledge no one at Huntington North teaches from a dictionary... (online or print form) however... students are encouraged to use the
dictionary as a resource (and they are taught how to do so).
As far as your misuse of of grammar... I couldn't care less. I would argue that the definition that you used is a fairly liberal way of describing "border"... does it also include A POPULAR BOOKSTORE? In any class in the World Geography / World History that I teach, students are expected to refer to the political boundary that surrounds a city as "city limits"... the area that lies immediately beyond the city limits is expected to be called the "metropolitan area". On a side note... the type of state that exists in the UNITED STATES is different than a nation-state. However, I am sure that if you enjoy reading dictionaries you have already run across this... Also... Noah Webster III is dead and I am not concerned with arguing this point with him anyway.
