Sometimes, there are "holes" in the English language, like the non-existent "nipponogram" which can be created in Interlingua at whim with "niponogramma" as an acceptable formation. The newfangled word could apply to a symbol in the various sets of Japanese glyphs. English has other "holes" like "psychophonology," which could be formed as "psychophonologia" in Interlingua. Such "holes" in a natural language deter a writer's or speaker's creativity.

newfangled electronic gadgets that cost a lot and do little

We notice by our exchanges that great efforts are being made throughout the western States especially, to palm off upon the farming public various kinds of patent churns, or to induce many mechanics to give large sums for the Right to manufacture the same—while in a majority of cases, we believe, the articles are absolutely worthless, or inferior to older kinds that might be procured for less money. We have repeatedly cautioned our readers against purchasing these new fangled churns until after they have been more fully tested; and we are happy to know that our remarks have saved not a few of our friends from imposition. To set this matter in a clearer light before our readers, we will glance at a few of the different churns, now most prominently before the public—some valuable, some useless.
