00I was looking at the Collins Cobuild Advanced Learner's Dictionary for some words and came upon the following and they got me wondering.02br
02br
001. interrogation: An interrogation is the act of interrogating someone.02br
02br
00Why can't it be?02br
02br
01i00An interrogation is an act of interrogating someone.02i02br
02br
002. interpolation: An interpolation is an addtion to a piece of writing.02br
02br
00Why can't it be?02br
