YOU'RE a tilde-gazer!?!? Who would have ever thought that such a sweet, refined, educated, elegant, classy lady like you wou . . . oh, wait, this is Jane S I'm talking to. Never mind; you're only human.
Look, the danged thing just came out of nowhere. It's a miracle I managed to stop my car before I hit it. Then, just as quick as it showed up, it was gone. If I hadn't seen it in historical texts, I wouldn't have even known what it was. I thought those things went extinct in the wild years ago, but sure as day, I know that's what I saw.
Umm... you don't think there are more lurking around here, do you? I may start sleeping with some White Out by my bedside table just in case. One can't take too many precautions when there are tildes running amok.
