BTW: When I was 8 years old I could not make it home from school, so I

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.

I gave you a link which you ignored.


Hmmm...How do you know that? Are you tracking my internet activity? Did you spend the night at my place? Just how do you know what I ignored and what
I didn't?


Because you didn't respond to it in a sensible manner.

Must I teach you everything?

Click on the link that you claim I ignored and scroll down to the video
entitled "Misconnections explained by Yellow Ducks". Watch the "Are you
polluting?" video and listen very, very carefully to the words used by
the nice gentleman at 0:29.

Then come on back and tell me that ignored your link and that I am wrong.


I can't be bothered, because I've looked up the REAL meaning in the Cambridge dictionary (do you have those things over there?)


You can't be bothered because you are too much of a wuss to admit when
you are wrong.

You now know that I didn't ignore your reference, so you're wrong on that
claim. You are also afraid to go back to *your* reference, watch the video
and be proven wrong again.

Troll along, little man, troll along.

Go argue with Cambridge if you really want to embarrass yourself. Americans might be blasé about word usage, but we speak English properly in the UK.
