If we speak the way scientific articles are written...
By Bernard Dixon, published in New Scientist, 11 April 1968, p.73, an
imaginary conversation at breakfast:
"Daddy, I want cornflakes this morning. Must I have porridge?"
"Yes. It has been suggested by mummy that, in view of the external
coldness, the eating of porridge by you will cause an increase in bodily
temperature. Furthermore, in regard to the already-mentioned temperature
considerations, your grandma-knitted gloves and wool-lining-hooded coat
will have to be worn."
"May I have some sugar on my porridge?"
"The absence of sugar in the relevant bowl has been noted by daddy at an
earlier moment. However, further supplies of this substance are now
being brought by mummy from the appropriate vessel that is present in
the kitchen."
