   Usage: {Admittance}, {Admission}. These words are, to some
          extent, in a state of transition and change.
          Admittance is now chiefly confined to its primary
          sense of access into some locality or building. Thus
          we see on the doors of factories, shops, etc. ``No
          admittance.'' Its secondary or moral sense, as
          ``admittance to the church,'' is almost entirely laid
          aside. Admission has taken to itself the secondary or
          figurative senses; as, admission to the rights of
          citizenship; admission to the church; the admissions
          made by one of the parties in a dispute. And even when
          used in its primary sense, it is not identical with
          admittance. Thus, we speak of admission into a
          country, territory, and other larger localities, etc.,
          where admittance could not be used. So, when we speak
          of admission to a concert or other public assembly,
          the meaning is not perhaps exactly that of admittance,
          viz., access within the walls of the building, but
          rather a reception into the audience, or access to the
          performances. But the lines of distinction on this
          subject are one definitely drawn.
