 Exemple de propoziții și/sau fraze: 

When I think of this deggerredation, I feel that I can bear even my flat nose and purple gown with yellow sky-rockets on it.

(Little Women, de Louisa May Alcott)

When I had groped my way, blindly, through these difficulties, and had mastered the alphabet, which was an Egyptian Temple in itself, there then appeared a procession of new horrors, called arbitrary characters; the most despotic characters I have ever known; who insisted, for instance, that a thing like the beginning of a cobweb, meant expectation, and that a pen-and-ink sky-rocket, stood for disadvantageous.

(David Copperfield, de Charles Dickens)
