just curious about language usage

New page

[[User:lee|lee]] I've noticed changes in the article in the use of 'docking at' and 'docking to' 'some object'. Not being a native English speaker, I'm curious what the correct usage would be, i. e. when would you say 'docking to' rather than 'docking at', and vice versa? Thinking about it, there's no such difference in German, we always say 'docking at'. It would be nice if someone could enlighten me :)

Either usage is generally acceptable, however, 'to' is slightly more so in that you are attaching '''''to''''' an object, i.e. attaching '''''to''''' the docking clamps (or hull of a ship etc), rather than landing '''''at''''' a docking bay (implying landing on something or somewhere).		*[[User:Silverain\|Silverain]] 15:55, 2 May 2005 (PDT) The joys of English language.
