Examples

“I am one of the few fans that still have⟳ a copy⟳ of Spacewarp, No. 1, Vol. 1. As a first issue⟳ it was about as sickly a mag as you could ask⟳ for, and the fellow that was editing it sounded like⟳ the ultimate in "goshwowoboyoboy" new fans. I frankly expected it to be the last⟳ issue⟳, and didn't subscribe⟳.”

“The names you cite are as familiar to me as they are to you, and as fondly remembered. But I also remember⟳ the crap, and the naive goshwowboyoboy attitude of fellow neo-phans. I remember⟳ it well because I suffered from it.”

“I'm letting one of the plot kittens out of the bag, but the book is such a delight that it'll do no serious harm⟳ if I tell⟳ you that it concerns a pulp science fiction editor who finds himself in a rip-roaring alien-plagued super-hero naked-heroine universe that exists in the mind⟳ of one of his goshwowboyoboy teen-aged readers.”
