Examples

“Then you fish⟳ with a nimp, when it should be an Alexandra, or strike⟳ too soon or too hard, or play⟳ the fish⟳ too heavily, […]”

“The majority of Western fly-fishing guides tend⟳ to be the sort⟳ of folks you meet⟳ in the cheap seats at professional sporting events—the sort⟳ of decent, working-class personages who call⟳ a beer a "brewski," a nymph a "nimp," a lost fish⟳ a "long-range release⟳," and a minor flesh wound a "Hertz Donut." That I abhor the riverside company of these perfectly amiable souls might seem snobbish. But a river, when one is fly-fishing, is like⟳ a symphony: you need⟳ your full concentration to make⟳ sense⟳ of the thing. Is it snobbery when attending the symphony not to want⟳ to sit⟳ beside some bloke, however likable, who natters on throughout the performance about their favorite brewski brands, deadliest nimps, and most hilarious Hertz Donuts?”
