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.”
