I'll be on the lookout for road signs bearing the sentence "Right-bearing
curve ahead," and will be curious how many languages besides English are
included. And, I'll start lobbying my highway department to take down all

skull and crossbones on bottles of poison anymore, either. And, next time I
do a bulleted list, I'll use "bullet."
