{{ | {{a|plainenglish|}}The [[incluso]] is the ''opposite'' of a [[proviso]]. | ||
A [[proviso]] may be a ginger, lilly-livered construction, but at least it ''does'' something: it states a proposition and then weasels out of it: | |||
:''The promisor herewith agrees to pay, unconditionally and in full, all amounts due, provided that on no account shall such promisor be liable for: ... ''[here follows a catalogue of exceptions great and small the sum total of which will equal, or perhaps even exceed, the value of the commitment so generously given]''. | |||
An [[incluso|''in''cluso]], by contrast, states that proposition, and then illustratively ''repeats'' it, bearing useful confirmation only to those who enjoy miscellany or are afflicted by [[profound ontological uncertainty|doubt]] as to whether you meant what you said in the first place: | |||
:''We will send such confirmations and information in such form (including paper, writing, parchment, scrolls, hand-signals, facial tics, morse code, semaphore, maritime signaling systems or other symbolic language (whether or not depending for their efficacy upon the assistance [[and/or]] configuration of flags) as we shall determine [[from time to time]].'' | :''We will send such confirmations and information in such form (including paper, writing, parchment, scrolls, hand-signals, facial tics, morse code, semaphore, maritime signaling systems or other symbolic language (whether or not depending for their efficacy upon the assistance [[and/or]] configuration of flags) as we shall determine [[from time to time]].'' | ||
