“Of course Michael won’t be late: you know how punctual he always is,” she said with heavy irony (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English).
Alright, here are media examples:
1. textbook example:
A textbook example of how chains of volcanic islands like Hawaii form is based on false assumptions, U.S. scientists have argued.
The controversial research by Professor John Tarduno of the University of Rochester in New York and colleagues is to be discussed at a conference in Iceland today, and based on earlier results which appeared in a recent issue of the journal Science.
Scientists can only deduce indirectly how the Earth's interior works. The dominant theory is that the interior churns around in a convection current, with upward plumes of hot magma periodically burning through the Earth’s crust, in areas known as ‘hotspots’. This explains, so the theory goes, how volcanoes - such as those of Hawaii - can form in the middle of tectonic plates like the Pacific.
Magma plumes creating these hotspots have long been assumed to be fixed, while the overlying tectonic plates of crust - which make up the surface of the Earth - drift slowly, over millions of years, above them.
Scientists have relied on these stable hotspots as a point of reference for such things as tracking the movement of continents and ocean basins, and understanding ancient climates.
