Errr.... a sewer is precisely where your pee goes anyway, so you did good.


Not necessarily.

In many municipalities, any sewer that you could pee into is not the sewer you
should be peeing into.

Then it isn't a sewer. A sewer is for human effluent. If it's a for rainwater, it's not a sewer.


Where exactly do you go to get all of your incorrect information?


Sewer takes in a lot of different systems, but they all come under the
same overall term. Sanitary sewers usually carry the effluent from
toilets. Storm drains usually carry the water runoff from rain.
Combined sewers do both.

I know that...it's the Bird Brain that needs the information.

Storm drains are very often referred to as storm *sewers*. When he says
"If it's a for rainwater, it's not a sewer." he's wrong.

I provided a few links for him to check out.

This is the Cambridge dictionary, the most respected one. Don't bother arguing about it, this dictionary is correct and you are wrong:
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dict.../english/sewer

"a €‹large €‹pipe, usually €‹underground, that is used for €‹carrying €‹waste €‹water and €‹human €‹waste away from €‹buildings to a €‹place where they can be €‹safely got €‹rid of"

And incase you think that's just right-pondian, here's the American version from the same page:

"an €‹artificial €‹passage or €‹pipe, usually €‹underground, that €‹carries €‹waste and used €‹water from €‹sinks and €‹toilets away from €‹buildings to a €‹place where they can be €‹safely €‹gotten €‹rid of"
