Dear Dr Noto,

 

I don't see any controversy, it is obvious that the term "elimination" should be restricted to professional bodies and the sensible easily understood term for the general public should be 'control' or something descriptive and precise. 

Elizabeth Poorman has very rightly responded to the affected person's comments and I appreciate the same. 

 

Best regards,
