Phrase commute
Text The word "commute," in this podcast, means the trip between one's home and workplace: "Normally, Trent's commute is about 20 minutes, but if he leaves during rush hour, it can take more than an hour." The word can also be used as a verb: "Do you commute by car or by bus?" The verb "to telecommute" means to work at a location other than the office, often from a home: "Francine telecommutes from home and comes into the office only about once a week." Finally when talking about the law, the phrase "to commute a sentence" means to reduce the punishment for a criminal, usually by reducing the amount of time he or she must stay in jail: "Many people criticized the governor's decision to commute the murderer's sentence from 30 years to 10 years."
