How to use nuance in a sentence?

  4. Tim Young:

    Chris Harrison stepped aside and allowed Chris Harrison to be canceled by it. Chris Harrison shouldn't have, chris Harrison should have forced them to fire Chris Harrison publicly and make a statement about it and then fight back against it. But instead Chris Harrison's OK with being canceled for pointing out a nuance of cancel culture, not for supporting what this woman did. That's the most ridiculous part of the whole thing.

  5. Dan Ives:

    For Nadella Co, this is the right acquisition at the right time with Microsoft doubling down on its healthcare initiatives over the coming years, the Nuance deal is a strategic no brainer.
