Example Sentences

• "It's a way of controlling death. A way of gaining the ultimate upper hand. Be the killer for a change. Let someone else be the dier."
• "Since other languages are structurally constrained to say who it was who died and since the original leaves the identity of the dier unexpressed, any translation in the target language is going to be incorrect."
