traditionally favor this slightly marked usage over other possible

equivalents such as “<span class="quote">There's no X here!</span>” or “<span class="quote">X is

missing.</span>” or “<span class="quote">Where's the X?</span>”. This goes back to the

original PDP-10 <a href="../A/ADVENT.html"><i class="glossterm">ADVENT</i></a>, which would respond in this

wise if you asked it to do something involving an object not present at

your location in the game.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="I-didn-t-change-anything-.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../I.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="I-for-one-welcome-our-new-X-overlords.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">I didn't change anything! </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> I for one welcome our new X overlords</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
