Where are you guys getting homelessness from? These examples are different
from the norm as "In America I inhabit" is. The meaning seems clear, but
it's stated incorrectly. It doesn't follow the accpeted (by Klingons)
pattern.
Lack of an object doesn't indicate the object is nothing. It might mean
there is no object, or it might mean the object is general, or unstated.
