Abstract:
The editor has passed on to me a letter consisting solely of a photocopy of page 15 of the April/May 1994 PESA News, with a red circle drawn around the word 'expulse' in the second sentence: (AGSO) 'is also focussing on the geological processes that form and expulse petroleum ... '.
'Can you do anything', the anonymous correspondent had written atop the page, 'to have this word expulsed from the literature?'
Expel expulse? On what grounds? That it's obsolete? Maybe it's returning to fashion, albeit in a rather specialised form.
