a tax levied on certain goods and commodities produced or sold within a country and on licenses granted for certain activities
I saw this word used in an article about dealing with multiple windows on a computer screen, but I don’t really get how it’s appropriate in that context: “Manipulating windows is pure excise—extra work that stands between the user and completing their task.”
That usage doesn’t seem appropriate to me either, Karl.
I think the author should excise it from the text.
