Examples

“Thus cometh it that You Charley and I are fast friends, and I am under his immediate and powerful protection. To wit, my fowls go unstoned by the Little Willies of the neighborhood (there are two or three); my deafness goeth untaken-advantage-of; and my door un-runaway-knocked at.”

““[…] That boy Sparks is always hanging about. I think⟳ he wants to marry⟳ her [Daffy] or something.” / “Probably something,” put⟳ in Venus, “if he’s like⟳ the boys I used to know⟳.” / “You’re wrong,” declared Daffy. “I’ve already suggested something, but he insists on leaving me untaken-advantage-of.””

“Co-eds in a recently formed organization at New York University are pledged not to marry⟳ men who wish⟳ to avoid⟳ service under the draft law. All we can say⟳ is that this is a fitting climax to the most untaken-advantage-of Leap⟳ Year in our experience⟳.”

“Thus, in comparing a four-pigment system to a three-pigment one--in a common color-area of interest⟳, as defined by pigment-distance vectors in either system's color space--you might find⟳ the the^([sic]) four-pigment system much superior at discriminating color differences in that particular area. But if the two different systems occur⟳ in the same species, without evolution of highly different behavior patterns with respect⟳ to the given color area, you'd figure⟳ that the excess-pigment variant was merely a fluke (an untaken-advantage-of consequence of an unrelated genetic happenstance), without any neural wiring to make⟳ it useful.”
