[Corpora-List] Citing examples

[Kevin B. Cohen]

I agree with Zygmunt's recommendations for these situations:

Personally, I go even further and cite sources where the quotation
isn't particularly uncommon, rare, etc., but I think that at least in
the situations that Zygmunt cites, it's best to give the source.
