My copy editor just suggested a book description that called me an expat. No. For all of your reasons.

Its use is so widespread! I hope you can both find a word that works better for your book

Thanks - I loved your thoughts on expats. I live in Bulgaria and I frequently disturb or perhaps annoy other foreigners by calling them immigrants - it's quite good fun really. They're often Brits who think immigration is such a problem but call themselves expats. 🦋

There's a lot to examine if one is disturbed by one word. Way to make a point to other foreigners living abroad! I'd love to learn more about life in Bulgaria 😊

I'm new here and slowly getting it together to write about my life past and present. Bulgaria is a lovely place to live - it's my head in the sand place where I don't get involved in politics or life outside my garden. The stories and opinions will come and I look forward to reading yours.
