Addressing my three kids while un-indexed, I rarely get the name right
before I get that "gee, Dad!" look.
From now on, I'll wrap them in parentheses, making sure those are
silent.

Bill,
Very good illustration. I have been to a foreign country where I did
not know the language and you are correct in how long it could take to
find what you are looking for – provided you could even find it in the
country.

Mike,
If you went to the grocery store intending to buy 3 items, and you knew
ahead of time exactly where they were located, it would take you three
or five minutes.
If you went to a grocery store in a foreign country, where there were
no signs over aisles that you could read, and things were arranged
differently than you were used to, and you had to walk up and down each
aisle looking for your three items, it could take you over an hour.
That's the difference between using an index and doing a sequential
search.
Bill
