text: The problem was that schools began expecting dialogues to appear in students’ books. Conversations going backwards and forwards between learner and teacher. People wrote comments, which were responded to, then a new comment appeared, which again was responded to, and then a new comment was written ………. Marking had become not triple impact but quintuple, nonuple, quattuordecuple and maybe centuple impact marking. A well-intentioned idea had spiralled out of control.

text: We further investigated the stomatal high-VPD response in a B2-, B3-, and B4-family Raf-like kinase quattuordecuple mutant, OK-quatdec (raf16/raf40/RAF24^(Δ10)/raf18/raf20/raf35/RAF42^(Δ6)/m3kδ1;raf3/m3kδ7;raf4/m3kδ6;raf5/raf7/raf8/raf9/raf10), in which the mutations in 14 Raf-like M3K kinase genes were confirmed, as described in Materials and Methods.

text: He chunked a wedge 20 yards short of the green, advanced his next pitch just five yards, then half-shanked his 14th shot to the back-right of the putting surface — above the hole, which is not where you want to be on the sloping green. He cautiously tapped that putt but not cautiously enough; it nearly rolled off the green, leaving himself 15 feet back up the hill. A tidy two-putt from there and Birrell had made a 17. Yep, a quattuordecuple-bogey.
