  1. EMIGRATE vs. IMMIGRATE

He who emigrates also immigrates. As he leaves his country of origin, he emigrates from his homeland, in order to immigrate to another country. Leaving his old country, he is an emigrant, but arriving in his new country, he is an immigrant.

    The first Mormon immigrants to Utah didn't know better, and named the canyon through which they entered the Salt Lake Valley "Emigration Canyon" - much to the consternation of English teachers everywhere (especially my twelfth-grade AP Literature teacher, who hammered the difference into us :~)).
