Examples

“It wouldn't make sense if your net extended beyond the bounds of what proportions can be, even though using some recipes to compute the confidence interval for two proportions, you do end up overshooting those endpoints. (Typically, you just chop off whatever part of your net didn't fall between 0% and 100%, but that always feels rather kludgey.) […] However, I don’t want to be embedding images if all I have to do is make reference to a variable within a paragraph of text… and I’ve never had a good solution. UNTIL THIS MORNING when I really, really, really wanted to be able to use y-bar and p-hat in my paragraph, without having to do the even kludgier thing where you just call them “y-bar” and “p-hat” in the text. That doesn’t feel good.”
