I feel like the teacher part of your username is showing.... reminds me of the late George Carlin's discussion about pre-boarding. I don’t recall pre-boarding .... was that when he explained de-planing: which is the process by which you get off de plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one uses the term "Debarking" a ship, this refers to goods or cargo. People disembark a ship, your luggage debarks. So: Disembark or Disembarkation = People Debark or Debarkation = Stuff That is all for this very boring Sunday morning. 😄 Cheers!!! You can also debark a dog.

DirtyDawg Posted April 29, 2019 #30 Share Posted April 29, 2019 This hole thread is barking up the wrong tree. Or, is that de-barking up the right tree?🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermotsgirl Posted April 29, 2019 #31 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I always disembark. I've seen 'debarking' on various threads over the years, and just thought it was the American way of saying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwendy Posted May 1, 2019 #35 Share Posted May 1, 2019 It seems strange to quibble over one term. What about the poor grammar, and atrocious spelling that abounds on these boards. Oh I will just put my red pen away and do an Elsa. Let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to the poor grammar, there are the unnoticed typographic errors - we all sometimes slip on our proof reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what my memory is telling me. I pay homage to that whenever an agent asks me if I care where my seat is and I reply, "As long as it's inside the plane I don't care."

I believe he was also concerned about pre-boarding, as he didn't understand how you get on before you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
