when is a village not a town? is it simply a group of dwellings and businesses all within walking distance... separated from any surrounding populations? i think in the us, villages only exist in mountains anymore

A village always has an idiot.

You can't spell 'psychopath' without 'cat' - that's all I'm saying
In th UK:
traditionally, a village doesn’t have a cathedral or a market but it will have a church.
Whereas a Town has a market
a City has a cathedral or university.
Problem is there are lots of exceptions (as with everything in UK).
The village I was born in received the decree of 'township' form the Archbishop of York in 1239, but everybody consideres(d) it a village until recently.
Beverley, has a Minster, not a cathedral, but is a town .....

Oh embugger me, stupid censor.
The town is called G-ayl-ord.
We are a village?
Like the famous Scunthorpe rule.
Beverly is the size of a continent.
On learning this knowledge I'm off to dance the Gay Gordon.
Hmm - the isn't censored, and quite rightly
yes, sadly it's starting to merge into 'ull (that's Hull to you southerners).
Beverley and surrounding countryside is quite nice, Hull is a dock and ermmmmmm
In VT a village is a town center (where the church(es), town office, school, post office, etc...are located), in most cases, and a town is a much larger area which includes all of the farms and residences.
In some cases, like elections and what not, they are distinguished by the inclusion of "Village" or "Town" before or after the proper name. Such as Village of Bristol, Bristol Village, Town of Bristol or Bristol Town

Is that the one relating to 'Snottingham' ?
I stole this from here a long while ago... but I believe it's time to give it back...
Do you mean gay is censored, whereas Gay isn't? If so, this conversation is going to get even more confusing than it already is!
is in Michigan, up north on the main state body. Quite near to Hell, which I find quite funny as it is kind of in the Bible belt!
Come and play baby!
