[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone knows what "where are you FROM?" means. You are FROM New York if you grew up there, period. You LIVE there if you live there at the moment. Stop playing dumb, people. [/quote] No, what everyone knows is that there are different contexts in which "where are your from" means different things. If you're talking to a friend or coworker at your NYC job or at an NYC dinner party and it's obvious that you both live somewhere in the general vicinity, it means "where did you grow up." If you're at a work conference where everyone's from somewhere else, it means "where do you live." If it's an ambiguous context there's nothing wrong with saying where you live unless they specifically asked where you grew up. [/quote]
