Like someone in Philly saying they're going "down to "New York" or someone in DC saying they're going "up to Atlanta." Drives me nuts that people don't try to have a least a vague idea of what compass direction they're travelling in. --- My sister's dog bit a hole in my Super Mario Land cartridge.

So you're only going on down to South Park if you're approaching from the north? --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. https://youtu.be/lMss1CeHOiM ... Copied to Clipboard!

if you're not using cardinal directions to describe your travel you're just being needlessly vague. --- Taarsidath-an halsaam. Quando il gioco e finito, il re e il pedone vanno nella stessa scatola ... Copied to Clipboard!

K181 posted... So you're only going on down to South Park if you're approaching from the north?Down is appropriate if you're heading south, from a significantly higher elevation to a lower one, or if you're coming from a suburb/residential area to a downtown area. tankboy posted... In Jersey, you always go down shore, regardless of the compass direction.Yeah, that's one of the other scenarios where it makes sense, you go down to sea level. Someone from El Paso could say they're going down to New Orleans. --- My sister's dog bit a hole in my Super Mario Land cartridge. It still works though - Skye Reynolds ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean, "up" and "down" to describe cardinal directions are based on nothing but common convention. There's nothing about North that makes it "up" except that we commonly orient our maps with North at the top. A map with South at the top is just as valid a representation of the Earth's surface, we're just not used to thinking of it like that. --- "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.
