"Commonly used" is, to be sure, an exaggeration. No newspaper in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia that I read (and I read papers from all three and elsewhere regularly) has used the term at all to my recollection. ============================== Thomas Wier <trwier@...> "If a man demands justice, not merely as an abstract concept, but in setting up the life of a society, and if he holds, further, that within that society (however defined) all men have equal rights, then the odds are that his views, sooner rather than later, are going to set something or someone on fire." Peter Green, in _From Alexander to Actium_, on Spartan king Cleomenes III
