I'm going to try hard to have this not become a rant, but " Even Among Animals: Leaders, Followers and Schmoozers ," by Natalie Angier in yesterday's New York Times begins with "even."

GISS—general impression, size, shape—is intuitive, the result of an unconscious cognitive process derived from experience in the field.
