Corrigendum

Up to now I have written almost systematically “born at” (most certainly influenced by the Flemish “te”) and felt uneasy about it – but I felt more uneasy with “born in” still.

I have a half English nephew who is a talented teacher, cartoonist and photographer and who reads my blog - I think. But discretion being his middle name, he never said a word about it.
Until I asked him outright. “Born in” it is. I am not planning to correct the articles already written but promise to mend my ways for the future. Thank you, Zimbob.

By the way, there is a link to some of his work in my "Favorite Links".
