Every post of yours that I read now has this disclaimer, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it means. The disclaimer is straight forward enough. It's the example that blows me away. I live ( ITD "lives" if someone else were describing it) in a small town in Massachusetts. I would never tell anyone that I live on Lake Winnipesaukee because I know that that would be misleading. I would say something to the effect of " I stay at the lake during the summer." Which I actually do say regularly to my neighbors or anyone who needs to know. Furthermore, you say "...takes up residence for an indefinite period." . Couldn't indefinite mean an unlimited period? I think it may have been better to use finite instead of infinite. Anyway I know you don't like people parsing your words, but I don't consider your use of "lives" as the "generic or everyday meaning".
