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.

Hey All,

 

Just a friendly Grammar FYI. 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.

This hole thread is barking up the wrong tree.

 

Or, is that de-barking up the right tree?🤔

I always disembark. 

I've seen 'debarking' on various threads over the years, and just thought it was the American way of saying it

My English English dictionary lists 'debark' without a note that it is a U.S. or North American thing as it does for 'hood' meaning the bonnet of a car or 'hood' meaning neighborhood.

I have always just got off the ship,  but whether it is debarking or disembarking, I have to leave - ship's rules.

I believe the correct phraseology is “removed kicking and screaming.”

 

THIS is the correct wording

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.

In addition to the poor grammar, there are the unnoticed typographic errors - we all sometimes slip on our proof reading.

I’m one of the worst, but having eyesight that has some issues makes it hard.

What I recall Mr. Carlin was saying was that the airline was telling him to "get on the airplane", when he wanted to "get in the airplane".

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.
