  • Asked on March 29, 2021 in Word choice.

    You could substitute “around” for both “in” and “down” in your examples

    however, “down” seems to imply that a person is unusually in the vicinity from elsewhere. As a “in”, “fool” implies a more specific location and also a sense of deliberate presence. ‘Down’ is less specific about where exactly the subject is but is saying that they are in the area.

    Up was used as a dictionary and the same way as

    down, example next time you are up from London please let

    me know.
