Question to the English speaking crowd
 

Ok, we all speak English here. I mean the native English crowd.

The word "egress". Do you know the word? Is it word you use?

I can honestly say I've never used it. Ever.

I also never use math either. Think about it.

The only people who use that word are building inspectors and fireman.

Never used it.

Know the word, no dont use it, I think it's more of a legal term.
It´s used in Spanish more.. egreso

i've heard it used in describing autos, getting into and out of.

You disembark from it, but do you embark at the ingress? Only if you are Mr. Burns.

I actually did use it, about a month ago, when i was discussing with some friends the screwups that have been made with the Miami International Airport, where they increased terminal capacity prior to working on the ingress and egress issues, thus creating the problems that we have there now...

I, however, read incessantly, and I use a lot of words not commonly included in people's everyday speech.... There are plenty of people that think that I'm a bit geeky and a little weird.



.

I haven't heard anyone use it in a sentence. atleast since I've been out of school.

never used it either

I see what you did there :winkwink:

You're pretty smart for a yankee....so how can you be so dumb when it comes to guns?

Heard it used, but never used it myself.

Sort of word that would be a crossword puzzle answer rather than in everyday spoken use.

I know it. Can't recall the last time I used it.
Lest, I digress. ;-)

i've decided to egress from this thread, it's boring.

I heard JuicyDLinks use it once, he said "I egress from the closet" but think he was just trying to use some fancy talk. :winkwink:

It's a bird in Florida with long legs I see them all the time.

I know it but I have probably only heard it used in conversation a handful of times.

Without looking it up, I know what it means meaning (to what I know it as) a passage to get the fuck out of there, but tbh, I wouldn't know whether it was a verb or a noun so no, I wouldn't/haven't used it.

Me neither, but I do use the word maths :winkwink:

In the Navy, the word egress is an important one - it is used to describe how to escape from dangerous situations without panicking, such as an aircraft crash in the water, or escaping from below deck when all of the ship's lights are out.





All kinds of fun training in the military, like being put in a room full of flames, the only way to get out is by putting the fire out, or being put in a room full of tear gas with a gas mask, and then having to remove it and endure the gas until the room is opened and you can get outside to heave.

It certainly helps you to learn to maintain your cool under pressure and to plan ahead (I actually look at the escape routes in hotels when I check-in, have a designated meet-up spot if an emergency occurs, etc).

I always size up the security of places that I enter.

no one uses the word... means exit

Egress, Ingress and Regress are all show off words, really, but they sound good. Leave, enter, and return are more efficient.

They are very seldom used.

Have used it in terms of property easements - having the right to access property via a private road.

Drilling for oil&gas, we had a nice little fight with a Conservancy group about getting access to a drill location. Luckily for us, the property owner had the ingress/egress rights. :thumbsup

off topic: Franck - do you have skype? Can you hit me up please if you do, thanks
