Stopping/Staying
Following robchester's thread........ Do you say stopping or staying?
My mate in England say's stuff like "my cousin is stopping at our house for a few days". But if I was saying that I'd say "staying at our house" Quote:

Re: Stopping/Staying
"proper" English would suggest staying being the correct term in the above examples but,who gives a damn - say what you like, how you like!
Although, I would say staying |

Re: Stopping/Staying
I guess it's just like the dinner/tea thread. There will always be differences of opinion depending on where you live/ were brought up.
I wouldn't say it matters or either one was correct |
