[Ads-l] "void _out_"?!

[Wilson Gray]

>From a monitory form-letter from the MIT Alumni Association:

"... we will have to _void out_ your application."

A simple _void_ is no longer sufficient?

71,000 _very_ raw hits. Cf.

"Take your dog out about 45 minutes after it eats to _void out_ its meal."

"There's been a big _void out_ there."

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
