    I mean, technically speaking, if you didn’t go to the place, you didn’t visit the place.

    That would be like a 6th grade boy saying that he totally got laid because he sat together with Jessica at McDonald’s for dinner. Like, just because you got closer than anyone else doesn’t mean you went all the way.

      I was at the grand canyon. I was at the edge of it and looked down into it. Was I at the grand canyon or not?

        I’d say you looked into it, but not visited it.

        “I saw the grand canyon”

            Anything below the edge, really. Like a 3D map where the level of detail increases since you are inside the area.

          How far up your friend’s ass do you have to be to say you visited them?

          The official mw entry lists seeing. You may want to recalibrate your interpretation.

        I’d say yeah. I’ve been to a couple of states that way.
