Read a random definition: tippee

A quick definition of ferry:

A ferry is a type of boat or vessel that is used to transport people or things across water. It usually travels between fixed points and covers short distances. The act of transporting people or things across water for a fee is also called ferrying. The place where a ferry crosses the water, including the roads on both sides, is also called a ferry. The government can give a special permission, called a ferry franchise, to a company to operate a ferry service exclusively.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A ferry is a boat or vessel that is used to transport people or goods across water, usually over short distances and with fixed terminals. It can also refer to the commercial transportation of people or goods across water, as well as the place where the ferry crosses the water and the continuation of the highway on both sides of the water. Additionally, a ferry franchise is the right, often exclusive, given by the government to charge a fee for carrying people or goods across water.

  • My family took a ferry across the English Channel to get from England to France.
  • The ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island is a popular mode of transportation for commuters.
  • The ferry terminal in San Francisco is located at the end of Market Street.
  • The government granted a ferry franchise to a local company, allowing them to charge a fee for transporting people and goods across the river.

These examples illustrate the different aspects of the definition of a ferry. The first example shows how a ferry is used to transport people across water over a long distance. The second example demonstrates how a ferry can be used for daily commuting over a shorter distance. The third example highlights the location of the ferry terminal, which is an important part of the ferry system. The fourth example shows how a ferry franchise is a government-granted right to charge a fee for ferry transportation.

"Blueberry is normally the mature and smartest girl in the group. She is knowledgeable about almost everything. She spends so much time with books that she always knows exactly what others need, or where the specific topic they need will be located in her bookstore, Blueberry Books. She is a whole lot of knowledge and very well-mannered, which can confuse her friends since they struggle to understand her in some way. With her acute wit and flair for more than just average knowledge, Blueberry is a genius when it comes to organization, making plans, maps, and schedules, as long as it is not overly sophisticated." blueberry is autistic, confirmed
