Can we move this thread to the "Word Fun" forum.
:p

Shows how much you know.

Do what? :innocent:

Indeed. My scenario was WAY too rosy.

I think I'll move my attention to more interesting topics tho. Not much horse left to beat here.

Commutation....One year commuting translated into mileage,expenses etc.
for tax/budget purposes.
Commutating.....Act of commuting

Commutated.....A regular bike transmorgified into a commuter.

Commutative: for all a, b in a group, ab = ba

That's it. I no longer commute to work. I'll either "mountain bike" to work, "road race" to work, or maybe play tiddlywinks to work. If I'm just running errands, then I'll say for example that I'm hunting pheasant to the grocery store, or gardening to the library.

Gotta go, now, and reupholster my couch back to work.

I'm not sure why I'm participating in this thread. But I am, and it's not about semantics. At least the reply below is on topic, I hope....

Commuting really implies regularity -- and is understood by most to entail a destination of work or, for some, study. I ride into chruch for evening deacon's meetings and choir rehearsal, but drive my boys in on Suday morning. (it's 7.4 miles away)

I think this kind of regular weekly ride to a civic or religious responsibility could also be considered commuting. Errands and shopping fit well under utility cycling, so why call them commuting?
