It hasn't lost that meaning when a woman expresses milk from her breast to feed her child.

I never learned that "press out" meaning of express (though I suppose expressing (conveying) an idea has the same root). This forum is ESL-educational!
Carl-E:
Glad to be of service!

Stop making excuses for illiteracy!
If we put up with that crap we'll end up with leaders unable to refudiate the terriers that misunderestimate the need to put food on your family.

I find spelling and grammar Nazism to be occasionally funny but mostly just depressing.
The 'golden standard' of spelling and word usage that's being defended is just as corrupt, misused, and incoherent as the one we use today. The only difference is that it's much older.
While I get frustrated when people are either too lazy or ignorant to use words properly, I'm not 'correct', I'm just adhering closer to the artificial standard.
