This might be a slight quibble but perhaps justified. The entry for "peregrinate" lists it as an intranstive verb but a quote later on in the entry seems to use it as a transitive verb. Am I correct or completely off my rocker? (the latter happens quite a bit).

"* 2005, Jan Morris, The World: Travels 1950–2000 [6]

Anyway, as fledgling and as veteran, as man and as woman, as journalist and as aspirant littérateur, throught my half-century I peregrinated the world and wrote about it."

The entry for "peregrinate" lists it as a verb with one transitive and one intransitive sense. The quotes are divided between transitive uses of the word and intransitive ones. And the quote you have is in the section for transitive uses of the word. —Muke Tever 14:21, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
