Hello everyone,

Could you please tell me if you use "air ticket"? Or must it be "airline ticket"? I consulted the Google Ngram Viewer. According to it, both are used used, but I can't rely on it because an anonymous said "I've heard only (air ticket) in the UK". Is "air ticket" ever used in any English speaking country?

Regards,

JA

It's funny how nowadays we can't really rely on dictionaries anymore, even though dictionaries are using corpus data.

People will Google all kinds of stuff. I think I read that thousands of new words are created in English every year, as it has become a lingua franca. They can't check the words fast enough, I guess.

Anyone have a favorite corpus-based dictionary? The Oxford Livin
