melting point (corrected/uncorrected)

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.M03822
The term originally signified that a correction was made (not made) for the emergent stem of the thermometer. In current usage it often means that the accuracy of the thermometer was (was not) verified. This current usage is inappropriate and should be abandoned.
