Jemmy doesn't work. Also, since when does the word commencement mean anything to do with degrees? Is it another Americanism?

immigrant is someone who has migrated into a new country(arriving), emigrant is some who migrated to a new country(leaving)

The way you asked the question suggested leaving ones country not arriving in a new country

Your words: "...who has migrated into a new country."

The clue: "...who migrated to a new country."

You used almost the exact same wording in your complaint about the wording.

if you read properly he used "migrated to a new country" both for immigrant and emigrant, but showing that the discintion is, that one is leaving and the other arriving. Not sure if you actually missed that or trying to outsmart someone (it sort of seems if you deliberately left the important part out of the quote)

Agree. Although I suppose that's because I usually hear it used in the context of "to jimmy open" a door/a drawer/something with a lid or opening that is shut tightly to the rest of the object, with little space to pry. Which is what a crowbar does, of course, but when I hear "crowbar" I think of hardcore lifting/opening, like with a trapdoor or something. "Jimmy" implies a small space/object/area where it's stuck, at least to me.

Usages of words that are only used in the US such as scrimmage and commencement are poor choices for this quiz.

In UK it is what rugby players do to get the ball during a game, that big ruck thing they practise all the time. Isn't it? Not always a friendly thing.

I also think of it as a short fight, like a scuffle. Not friendly really.

A scrum is much different from a scrimmage. I think in the UK unofficial matches are known as frendlies.

The big ruck thing is a ruck, unless it's a maul, but it could be a scrum.

A ruck's when the ball's on the ground. A maul is when it's in the hands. Both of those are passages of open play. A scrum is more 'formal', I guess. It's a way of restarting the game after a minor infringement.

I love how on this site anything that isn't present in the US, but is present in the UK, is always just referred as "British", even if it's something that's in widespread use all over the world (and in the case of commodore, was used in the US for most of its history and is still an honorary title in use in the US Navy and Coast Guard).

I see this all the time on social media. I'd say it's because in America they learn about "British English" which is a misnomer for something that is known around the world as "English".

Many countries speak what they'd call "British English", which uses the letters 'u' and 's' more often.
