Examples

“Some trad apas *don't* have⟳ minacs, some *are* for formal zines, many apazines *don't* consist⟳ largely of mailing comments, many apas *don't* have⟳ dues, some *don't* use⟳ the usage of "mailings" or "distributions," and so forth.”

“John seems to think⟳ I will have⟳ enough to say⟳ of interest⟳ to the membership to fill⟳ my minimum number⟳ of pages. I understand⟳ that some waitlisters have⟳ contributed pages before becoming full members and this seems like⟳ a good idea to me. This way I can make⟳ a dry run⟳ at putting together my contributions each mailing without worrying about having to meet⟳ minac. If I can’t make⟳ minac while I’m waiting to join⟳, I figure⟳ I can gracefully drop from the waitlist before causing any trouble⟳.”
