Thank you all for confirming my sanity. WTF is 'lights'?

I mean really, do you call a street corner 'the street corners' because there's 4 of them at every intersection? Hmmmm...maybe it's an intersections.

This is undoubtedly light. If someone said lights I would laugh at them.

how about a Pittsburg left?

I've never heard of the term before, but I've seen people do it. I however have never done it before- probably because all of my cars have sucked- has anybody here?

Maybe the Pittsburgh Left is what caused New Jersey to do away with left turns altogether.

"Turn left at the light"

Seriously, though, people who ever need directions these days, when you can go to mapquest and do the aerial view and ACTUALLY SEE THE ENTIRE ROUTE YOU'LL BE TAKING, drives me nuts.

Also, anyone giving directions based on landmarks ("Turn left at the house with the red roof, then right at the restaurant with the big crab-shaped sign, then go straight past the car wash and the library before murdering the maid with the lead pipe in the conservatory") can die in a grease fire.

I say "lights"....but then we usually have more than one light at the intersection and well, NH does border Canada.... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: When Giving Directions...
 

There's lots of "borders" up there. (more than one crossing, obv.)
