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
