     Usage: Ride, Drive. Ride originally meant (and is so used
            throughout the English Bible) to be carried on
            horseback or in a vehicle of any kind. At present in
            England, drive is the word applied in most cases to
            progress in a carriage; as, a drive around the park,
            etc.; while ride is appropriated to progress on a
            horse. Johnson seems to sanction this distinction by
            giving ``to travel on horseback'' as the leading sense
            of ride; though he adds ``to travel in a vehicle'' as
            a secondary sense. This latter use of the word still
            occurs to some extent; as, the queen rides to
            Parliament in her coach of state; to ride in an
            omnibus.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  ``Will you ride over or drive?'' said Lord
