That's not the difference. Both words have noun and verb forms.

Immigrate = to move to a place

Emigrate = to move from a place

Immigrant = a person who moved to a place

Emigrant = a person who moved from a place

So they would be emigrating from the US and immigrating to Italy. They would be a US emigrant and an Italian immigrant.

Well yeah, they're mostly corn.

Does it contain gluten? How's the texture of the baked good?

ABC is owned by Disney, so it doesn't need to be listed separately. CBS is owned by Paramount, but I don't see that represented.

The biggest improvement in socks since the '80s was when they moved the seam from the end of the toe to the top of the toe. That seam was the bane of my existence.

You don't need reclassification to lose a lake; you just need a drought.

Edit: I may have misunderstood you. It's pretty late, and I should be sleeping...

Not everything is available on streaming. Even things that are available might not be on the services they have subscribed to. Also, while DVDs often have a "play all" option, you can typically play a single episode, and it will stop when it's over, which is pretty useful for helping to limit how long the kids are watching TV.

A lot of milk replacements are common allergens. I can't eat almonds. A lot of people can't have soy. I'm guessing very few people are allergic to all of them, though.

I've never heard of peanut butter on hamburgers. Where do people eat that?

If you've got something you want to find a place for, ask yourself, "If I was looking for this, where is the first place I would look?" I've ended up changing where I keep things because sure, it might havd been in a logical place, but it wasn't where I would think to look. It's not foolproof, but it helps.

You have non-stressful dreams? Lucky.

Newton wasn't the only one who developed calculus. Leibnitz developed it independently around the same time, and both of them had prior mathematicians' work to base their work on. If it weren't for Newton, we would still have calculus.

That said, we can acknowledge Newton's mathematical and scientific achievements while still acknowledging problematic or terrible things that he also did. We don't need to whitewash history in order to recognize someone's achievements.
