Examples

“Such differences of history and culture have⟳ lingering consequences. Almost all the corn and soyabeans grown in America are genetically modified. GM crops are barely tolerated in the European Union. Both America and Europe offer⟳ farmers indefensible subsidies, but with different motives.”

“I condemn neither way; but culture works differently. It does not try⟳ to teach⟳ down to the level of inferior classes; it does not try⟳ to win⟳ them for this or that sect of its own⟳, with ready-made judgments and watchwords. It seeks to do away with classes; to make⟳ the best that has been thought and known in the world current everywhere; […]”

“http://counties.cce.cornell.edu/suffolk/grownet/flowers/sprgbulb.htm The Culture of Spring-Flowering Bulbs”

“I'm headed to the lab to make⟳ sure my cell culture hasn't died.”
