I was quite happy when my question got an answer on stage. Neil said he thinks advertising is very useful when done well, and very irritatimg when not.

In the end, we had several golds, and a best of medium. The auditors wore identical black-rimmed glasses, a sight that creeped me out just a little …
the rain sheeting, careening crazy down the windshield. A splitsecond later, as the car moves forward, the ears receive the bounty of sound, the pitter too soon after the patter. I imagine slow rain to have vowels like long e and long i, but a monsoon downpour does away with all the vowels, and insists …
