OP I came across a word in my Chambers dictionary that struck me as odd: reflation. The def. is: "n increase in the amount of currency, economic activity, etc. after deflation; a general increase, above what would normally be expected, in the spending of money. --vt (back-formation from n) reflate. --adj reflationary"
Is this a term used in Britain? I don't recall hearing of it before. It makes perfect sense, which is no doubt why it struck me as odd.
