Kind of inappropriate, since these words are permanently taken, rather than on short loan.

I see one young chap in Nigeria is some months taking in $60,000.00 mostly from unwary Americans. I thought I would practice one and see if you thought it would take in some of my fellow Americans.

I am somewhat sophisticated in computer use. I see these warnings, and don't know what to do.

I think it would be very disruptive to transplant Obama, Pelosi, Kennedy etc. to Cuba and to bring Fidel and Raúl here to govern us. This is a bad idea.

But, I never had a chance. You need a high school or college football coach to build your character.
