        • What I meant to say is the message  . . . 
          was written
          in the language of science. If it  . . . 
          was
          religious in nature, it  . . . 
          should have taken
          the form of a burning bush or a voice from the sky.

          • — How  . . . 
            can
            I reach you?

            call you.

            •  . . . 
              Do

              can
              find a really great dress?

                • It’s the same people who, again and again  . . .
