You get it in the following example: one might tell someone: if you want to pronounce the salutation ‘Hail!’ expressively, you had better not think of hailstones as you say it.” (Wittgenstein, Philosophi cal Investigations Part II, 175) “As quick as hail, Came post with post; and everyone did bear Thy praises in his kingdom’s great defence, And pour’d them down before him.” (Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.3.97-100) “The question of style is always the examination, the weighing-in of a pointed object. Sometimes it is only a feather, a quill, but it may also be a stylet, or even a dag ger.” (Jacques Derrida, Spurs: Nietzsche’s Styles, Derrida 1991: 355) “But so you can use a screw-driver as a dagger; that won’t make a screw-driver a dagger.” (Stanley Cavell, The Claim of Reason, Cavell 1979:71) “Make an analysis of literature in this sense: as inscription of Being”. (Merleau-Ponty, The Visible and the Invisible, 197)
