Examples

  • It was full of reeking and streaming sight-seers, among whom one could easily find one's self incommoded without feeling one's self a part of the incommodation, but in spite of them there was the assurance of comfort as well as splendor in the noble old mansion, such as the Elizabethan houses so successfully studied.

    Seven English Cities William Dean Howells 1878

  • And, if so, while the incommodation lasts, what but the selfishness of men devolves it upon women!

    From the Easy Chair — Volume 01 George William Curtis 1858

  • And to what would this be due but to the fact that the selfishness of men would insist upon the comfort of which, while the incommodation lasts, they deprive women?

    From the Easy Chair — Volume 01 George William Curtis 1858

  • As to the puff oblique, or puff by implication, it is too various and extensive to be illustrated by an instance: it attracts in titles and resumes in patents; it lurks in the limitation of a subscription, and invites in the assurance of crowd and incommodation at public places; it delights to draw forth concealed merit, with a most disinterested assiduity; and sometimes wears a countenance of smiling censure and tender reproach.

    Scarborough and the Critic Richard Brinsley Sheridan 1783
