OP An article in New Scientist about improving acoustics while repairing mosques in Istanbul, uses an old word in an appealing new way, saying the scientists have accumulated knowledge enough that "they can lobby future restoration teams to make sure that ---as far as possible---the acoustic end up as [the architect] intended,"
I think that "lobby" was originally American slang. Interesting to see in a Brit magazine. The editor must have been asleep.
