From: Stephen Wolff <steve@brl-bmd> Mostly, one can only weep at the rate new barbarisms - from `finalize' on down - slither into the language. But sometimes a new word comes along that makes you glad we DON'T have an Academy to enforce the purity of the tongue. Science's reviewer of "Black Holes, White Dwarfs,and Neutron Stars, The Physics of Compact Objects" by Shapiro and Teukolsky, praises the text for its contributions to `Astronecroscopy'. Lovely.
