Tuffy gives the government-sponsored UK usage, but there may be other usages in other Anglophone nations. The usage is inherently ambiguous, and needs context (eg the UK Govt uses it this way only) to be disambiguated. | |

| Jun 17, 2020 at 23:50 | comment | added | Grizzly | I am playing with my kids. I draw 3 of us sitting and playing together. "I am social distancing with", I would draw 3 people standing away from each other. Total strangers but all are participating. The center figure is me from my perspective. That is how I imagined at least. I simply imagined "social distance" as a verb and imagined it just like any other verb I use together with "with". What is on that paper is ambiguous though. This was just my interpretation. | |

| Jun 13, 2020 at 23:32 | comment | added | Greybeard | I am not at all sure what "People you are social distancing with" means. It sounds like a group of people who, together and as a group, spend their time avoiding other people. | |
