Little details give a quick glimpse. How often do I

drive crashed, with a view to writing some sort of essay on the sad
state of the English language, in its various forms and literatures;
and I might still write it, but I need to recover that data, or to
start the list again. And I could give hundreds more examples, but
readers either know what I mean, or they don't.
I assume you accumulated all those examples
by "pouring over" a lot of material!
Yours in jest,
