JKBelieve  +  340507 Sun, 18 Mar 07 02:10 PM My friend who has been to Japan told me that he heard the phrase 'You may exit on the right' in a Japanese subway. I was sure that he had heard it wrong that they couldn't have made such a mistake but my friend said that he hadn't heard it wrong. He also said that the sentence just sounded wrong but didn't have any grammatical problems.....is this true? I don't believe it, but I wasn't too sure hence the question. Please tell me once and for all if 'You may exit on the right' is a correct sentence. Thanx ^^ JKBelieve Joined on Thu, Nov 25 2004 Full Member 278 Reality is what we believe it is - JK

Thanx ^^ If you refer to the latest dictionaries, you can find 'exit' used to mean 'go out'. I exited quickly before anyone could see me. Please exit the theatre by the side doors. The above sentences are extracted from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary. I believe the older dictionaries don't have the above definition.
