pre-twisting wires

I did a search on this subject but didn't find anything. I noticed in my house that the wires held together by wire nuts are not twisted together (solid wires). Even on these home imp. shows I've seen the electricians hold several wires together and nut them without twisting.

Is this acceptable or is it up to the discretion of the electrician to do it or not? Seems like a wire or two could slip out.
