I've never seen it used like this and I hope that I never will.

Well Spotted! - It is a very ugly use indeed, and totally incorrect!

Back to 'demised'.............. am I the only one who is totally confused by the box headed 'The Etymology of Demised' that accompanies the article?

Anyway, if HSBC's use of the word is annoying, I'll have a chat with the bank's Chairman at the White Dog one evening - he's often in there............

Perhaps he needs to get out more! - Away from the White Dog! Quite a shame that he delights in the White Dog, when many HSBC Customers have to deal with the Black Dog that is often inflicted!
