>From a CNN anchor:
"It's good that you've got your toppers, because it's raining." Caps.
"And now we rock on with some baseball." Continue.
>From a dolphin expert:
"It seems to have happened in a snapshot." In an instant.
"That's one hypothesy." Hypothesis.
Need I say that none of these utterances were accompanied by amy hemming,
hawing, or bumbling?
