Arrive AT or Arrive TO?

[Ulfgeir]

A lot of big, fancy wordsmithing there. Sounds a lot like you are trying to get me to switch to the Metric System or something.

You say that like it's a bad thing...

The reason the Englishman who created the poll made it that way was because he didn't remember ever hearing it before, so assumed it must be foreign and his leading guess was that it was American.

Yeah see when I come across some newfangled naughty word in the English language I assume the Aussies did it

Anyway, 'Arrived At' is for sure correct. I've got a bone to pick with the poll though sorting all English into 'American', 'Canadian', and 'Other'. The UK has a greater population than Canada and much bigger differences to American English. Australia has 26 million people and has bigger differences to American English than Canada does. Hell, India has over 100 million English speakers. Idk, it smacks me the wrong way.

That's "differences from", you filthy Englishman.

Yes, I've seen Flight of the Conchords (in concert as well, but I mean the TV show), so I'm aware of the perfidy and oppression of the Aussies toward your people.
