Subject:Antonym of register From:scott -at- soffront -dot- com To:techwr-l Date:Fri, 30 Jun 2000 14:59:52 -0700
Hi,
Can anyone suggest an antonym for "register?"
I am thinking of "deregister" or "unregister."
I have to write a help topic to register a project, and unregister a
project (or deregister, etc.).
If you have an opinion, I would like to hear it! Please back your opinion
with your reasoning. I encourage English-speakers outside the United States
to respond since I have an international audience.
Thank you!
Scott
