Add ‘commute’ to the list of finance words applied to the action traveling in a car from point A to point B. Commute, as it turns out, means:
to convert (something, such as a payment) into another form. ‘The periodic payments may be commutedinto a lump sum.’ (dictionary source)
They describe everything in a financial way because they must describe everything in a financial way. They must do this because the entire premise is the person/franchise, which is a company. And not just a company, but one of their franchises that must follow their ‘code’ of (merchant) statutes.
Later in the definition, they claim ‘commute’ makes sense because one is ‘exchanging’ one location for another. I think that’s a stretch.
The new list is as follows:
- I’m traveling to work, not commuting.
- I’m traveling, not driving (for hire).
- Anyone in the car is a man or woman, not a (paying) passenger.
- We’re not stuck in ‘traffic’ because we’re not trafficking any goods.
- Me also did not register (donate) the car to DMV. It’s not part of a registry of goods owned by the DMV.
- Even if I have a driver’s license, I’m not using it now, because, wait for it, I’m not driving (for hire).
- I have the MCO for the car, meaning I own it.

Great. Will thou post a link to sample code with this definition? Me studying this topic now, so timely.
