Semi-protected edit request on 28 May 2019

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Lauren German. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The "Early LIfe" section contains the following line:

Her paternal grandfather, James German, was Dutch; born in Amsterdam in 1909, he emmigrated to the United States with his family as a child.

However, "emmigrated" is incorrectly spelled: it should read "immigrated" instead^[1].

Since what is meant is that the person moved from Denmark to the US, "emigrate" (only one "m", not two as in the article) might work. But usually "emigrate" is used from the point of view of the origin of the migration, whereas immigrate is from the point of view of the destination^[1], which corresponds with the usage of the verb in the article. So "immigrated" looks like the better option, and "emigrated" (again, one "m") a slightly less optimal one.

In either case, anyway, there should be no doubt that the word "emmigrated" is a misspelling.
