Examples

“So now, stimulated by some further experience with that world which does not care a tinker's damn whether a verb agrees with its subject in number and person or not, she permitted the taxicab to jounce her smile out of all semblance to anything calmly superior and into a very unschoolmarmish grin.”
“After that, the CGV "denumbered" a total of sixty taxicabs, that is, it removed them from the register of stationing taxicabs. The end of the CGV experiment is controversial, but it is certain that the behavior of the drivers (who, as we saw, were not directly salaried by CGV) was an important incentive to the denumbering of cabs: because of the high moyenne, they refused to accept customers for short trips and only accepted orders by the day or half-day.”
