For me, after all the highs, lows, triumphs and disappointments of the Olympics, Usain Bolt – physically, nominally and in personality – still occupies his own dimension.
This year he stepped aside from the AUC's military leadership, at least nominally, and appeared to push the group towards a break with drug-trafficking.
Swift, a bona fide, cross-genre global megastar — with career record sales of more than twenty-five million and total downloads surpassing seventy-five million — is also nominally, and perhaps at this point rather tentatively, a country star.
"These are people," Ms Didion writes of political reporters, consultants, pollsters, and their ilk "who speak of the process as an end in itself, connected only nominally, and vestigially, to the electorate and its possible concerns".

On Thursday, the day he was speaking with both the nominally and forcefully pro-gun sides of the aisle (sportsmen's organizations like Ducks Unlimited on one end, and the National Rifle Association on the other), Vice-President Joe Biden paused during one of his meetings to sum up the work that his post-Newtown task force has done so far.

His homeland, like other Muslim republics in Russia, is only nominally Islamic, and Tartars and other Muslims in Russia often experience prejudice, police harassment and even violence.
In addition, we referred to results with p-value between 0.01 and 0.05 as nominally significant, and considered them as notable when consistent across different analyses.
By stripping all the glamour and the sex from what was, nominally, rock and roll, the record made even other hardcore bands sound fussy and tame.
