Exemple de propoziții și/sau fraze:
I am not in the least provoked at the sight of a lawyer, a pickpocket, a colonel, a fool, a lord, a gamester, a politician, a whoremonger, a physician, an evidence, a suborner, an attorney, a traitor, or the like; this is all according to the due course of things: but when I behold a lump of deformity and diseases, both in body and mind, smitten with pride, it immediately breaks all the measures of my patience; neither shall I be ever able to comprehend how such an animal, and such a vice, could tally together.
(Gulliver's Travels into several remote nations of the world, de Jonathan Swift)
“A gamester!” she cried.
(Pride and Prejudice, de Jane Austen)
