a very considerable distortion of what took place.

The question is, what took so long?

The truth is not distorted here, but rather a distortion is used to get at truth.

There is no clinical evidence that over–the-counter cough expectorants or suppressants actually relieve cough. There is considerable evidence that older type antihistamines help to reduce cough, so, unless there are contraindications to using these medicines, why not take something that has been proven to work?

There's already been a considerable softening in housing demand which preceded the recent rise in mortgage rates. Which leads me to believe that the weakness at a minimum will continue, and may likely accelerate.

We had considerable consideration, but we didn't get in.
