- Reality check: The data was given as to the scheduled destination of the aircraft.
- There was no data in my source as to what the individual agendas were once they
- were there. Hence, I said "going to", which was what they were doing in the plane.
- "live in" is what would be done after getting there. And since the data was not
- available, I chose the one that corresponded to reality, as opposed to ones
- wishes.
-
- Not too bad, though. At least you are consistent. It would be nice if you
- learned to differentiate between documented, verifiable reality and your opinions,
- wishes, and dreams.
