Rubbish. "Distanciation" appears in none of the following dictionaries; OED, Collins, Cambridge, Merriam-Webster, One-Look.

The word, "distantia' is latin, meaning "to stand apart".

Since when was 'Globalisation' the arbiter of authentic words. Ditto for the existence of a website - I checked, and couldn't see 'skynews' in the OED either (as in www.skynews.com). I can't stand this modern drivel where no-one ever says any real words ....

Rant off.

Now what was the point?
