Examples

“We've just received an urgent message from the President.”

“He received a message telling him to update⟳ his laptop.”

“I have⟳ a message from God unto thee.”

“No matter⟳ how early I came down, I would find⟳ him on the veranda, smoking cigarettes, or otherwise his man would be there with a message to say⟳ that his master would shortly join⟳ me if I would kindly wait⟳.”

“The main message of the novel is that time heals all wounds.”

“Even without hovering drones, a lurking assassin, a thumping score⟳ and a denouement, the real-life story of Edward Snowden, a rogue spy on the run⟳, could be straight out of the cinema. But, as with Hollywood, the subplots and exotic locations may distract from the real message: America’s discomfort and its foes’ glee.”

“I had been on a message for my father, and was walking home along the road, when I saw⟳ a tall, fine lassie coming over the bogland on the right hand side of the road.”
