So what was that expression used to describe the easing of restrictions on Catholics in Britain in 1771? Emancipation.
That's our word of the week. Its the act of freeing or getting liberated. Emancipation of the slaves was how historians describe the removal of slavery in US.
Lately, we have had a few wise men talk of emancipation of our society from corruption. And for once we need to drop our cynicism and relish the use of an appropriate expression if nothing else (emancipation from pigeon's English - if you may please!).
