In the aftermath of 9/11, we did some things that were wrong. We did a whole lot of things that were right, but, we tortured some folks. We did some things that were contrary to our values.

There are also Idists and Interlingua-ists (the IALA kind) around, as well as conlangers and artlangers of all sorts... not to mention the Lojbanists.

And that woman (God bless her), a real skinny ugliness, with dyed black hair like a gypsy, and a tongue that ran stoplessly on relentless ball-bearings, was so jealous of Little Hannah that, if it were only possible, she would have ripped and hacked her to pieces just with her eyes.

The small shoots ... must be nipt off.
