What: The bridge was built from both sides. They didn't start on the San Francisco side and start building. First, engineers determined that an anchorage could be built on both sides. Once each side had a strong foundation construction could begin.

This insures that such devises can be built consistently and well.

What: "Even worse, arguing by cliche is like building a bridge with preschool blocks. If we only listen to what certain candidates say, and never analyze their deeds, our decision must necessarily be based on logic that can only be stacked one way and depends on one force only-the evil of the opposition. Blocky argument shapes blockhead decisions. We may be in for a perfect storm."

What: "As one writer in the boston.com article points out, getting rid of the semicolon would be like eliminating the slur in western musical notation: a further way for authors to express the rhythm they hear in their heads, gone."
