The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
qua \KWAY; KWAH\, preposition:

Good afternoon Teach!!! I would put a virtual apple here, but I don't have one as a .gif file LOL.
Comrade Glendenning, dictator Fearless Leader Governor? of the People's Democratik Republik of Maryland, showed his true stripes qua disarmament, instead of qua intelligent, by signing an executive order closing all shooting activities in the counties affected by "sniper activity".
Since Commissar Glendenning behaves qua X42 personality cult, and qua Carvillian, it follows that such EO's will never be repealed.
A freedom lost is lost forever!! Molon Labe!!
Keep the faith qua Freedom ;-)

Hey... I just got in from a brutal all-day HS math session.
Teaching math (geometry today) is fine, but not when the whole room is full of wild-a$s, hormone-crazed 10/11th grade urchins with the attention span of a damned fruit fly!!!!!
