Quoting Mark Shurtleff <gaijin@sfcmd.com>:

Depends entirely on the author, Gary. You make that bet with me and
you'd 
lose. :)

'sokay, winning ninety-five times out of a hundred is enough for me. :P

Relatively Absent, chapter 5: "You have quite a bit of 'other family',

Ranma-kun," Aiko smiled. "I'm sorry circumstances have prevented you
from 
knowing anything of your Mother's family up until now, but I hope to 
rectify that as soon as possible."

Done quite deliberately, since I got tired of using the "[character
name] 
said with a smile" format as was done in previous chapters.

Um... what's wrong with:

"You have quite a bit of 'other family', Ranma-kun." Aiko smiled. "I'm sorry
circumstances have prevented you from knowing anything of your Mother's family
up until now, but I hope to rectify that as soon as possible."
