Newguest  +  950840 Fri, 23 Oct 09 06:54 PM   Hi   Whites sometimes complain that they can’t understand why the Aborigines don’t want to settle down in pretty little houses with lawns and hedges, and why they can’t seem to settle into working 40 hours a week in factories or offices.   --- Does "settle into" here mean "adapt" or "adjust"? They don't want to adapt to a 40-hour working week? Newguest Joined on Sun, Feb 25 2007 Senior Member 2,105
