   The word `get' is so cruelly overused in English that   
   Ambrose Bierce, commenting on the phrase "to get married",   
   asks the reader why not to say "to get dead", too. I   
   therefore try to limit its office in my vocabulary to the   
   immediate meaning of taking something. One phrase, however,   
   makes me cudgel my brains -- "to get into a car". What   
   literate synonyms can you propose for it without `get'? How   
   about "to board"? But I fear it does not work for both   
   passenger and driver. I got stuck...
