    Wrong. Google Ngram Viewer Bit of dip from 1950 to 1975, but since then a steady increase.

    Conclusion: you're ignorant.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        If it makes you feel better, you're ignorant as well. I'd hate you to feel left out.

              There is a simple English wiki page, if any Brexiteers would find that helpful.

                I was ignorant of the term, 'earlier in the day', i.e. prior to 11:05 8th March 2019. I am no longer.

                You've shown that the term is used in books.

                Although I am loving an ex-pat trying to lecture someone who does still reside here, with what words are spoken by the ordinary people here, by using a link that analyses books
                Keep it up though, eventually you may come across a google link worth a damn

                  Fascinating.

                  What other phrases and topics are mandatory, in order to be labelled 'an educated adult'?
                  (As you seem to be suggesting that one cannot be 'an educated adult' if one doesn't understand what 'fellow traveller' means...thus making it mandatory learning.)
