I think you should modify your definition and especially the examples - the policeman/donut one is definitely not OMNIPRESENT anywhere outside the US! Can you imagine anybody eating donuts in France??

I have NEVER seen a policeman eating a donut.... I think the Britannica dictionary's definition will more easily translate into other languages in the DPR world. Just my 2 cents' worth.

Le gendarme demanded the ubiquitously brown man to show his papers.

Oh, that would be the US again, no?

After beating the black man senseless, the 5 cops laid the ubiquitous charges of resisting arrest against him.

I looked it up in the Britannica dictionary and it defined it as 'existing, or seeming to exist everywhere at once, omnipresent'. Hope this is helpful? Thanks FNG303 for a word I didn't know accurately! :-)

Hi Bettyhilda, I find the definition too general. Anything could be said to be ubiquitous which is why it is necessary to read the example sentences.

Will do - thanks! Love these challenges - they are educational as well as encouraging photographic creativity - I even now know more about dinosaurs and fungi for example. LOL
