Talk:expiry

Really obsolete?
Why is this marked as obsolete? I think it's a very current word (e.g. credit card expiry (date)).


 * Probably someone who only knows US English, who thought it sounded dated. Of course, perfectly current. Robert Ullmann 16:03, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Possible missing sense

 * 1853, The Free Church Magazine
 * Several of the shepherds were expiries — convicts whose term of banishment had ended, and who preferred spending the rest of their lives in Port Philip to returning home.
