"Expiry" is more common in the UK than in the US, but both strike me as
perfectly understandable.

-- Mary Tabasko

I hadn't thought of that. Do British readers trip over "expiration date"
the same way that "expiry date" of software snags my foot?

FWIW, Google gave me 10 times more hits for expiration date than for
expiry date.

Cheers,

Sean
