splitting couples
0 Hi 02 br

00 Is 'splitting' used correctly in the following sentence or does it always convey the meaning of 'divorcing'? 02 br
02 br
01 i 00 As a general rule, football matches, and especially 02 i 00 blah blah blah 01 i 00 are seen as the worst ones for business because of their image, associated with trouble, violence, and alcohol; rugby is considered more quiet and friendly, although able to attract more visitors than football. As a result, it can happen that couples spend the whole day in the city, shopping together in the morning and 01 u 00 splitting when the match begins 02 u 00 . 02 i 02 br
02 br
00 Should I specify, maybe this way? 02 br

0 Sounds ok to me. It really means spending time together then going off and doing their own thing and then meeting up again afterwards. 0-

However, if you think that those reading it might not understand, then include the 01 i 01 u 00 (women continuing shopping, and men going to the stadium) when the match begins. 02 u 02 i 00 part. 0-

0 In the U.S., you'd say "splitting up" when the match begins. However, as that's also a way to say they ended the relationship, you can say "shopping together in the morning and then going their separate ways when the match begins." 0-
