Re: [libreoffice-users] HSLQLDB syntax

       Ah, Latin ... yes, I remember it ... a language which should again
be taught to students;
            then maybe these slang terms, these acronyms, these non-words,
... ... ... would cease to exist, huh?   ;-)

       BTW - is there a word for a string of non-pronounceable letters
which ...
                    ah, maybe it's the same word used for those 2 lines
between the nose & upper lip, huh?  ;-)

None of these are acronyms either.

Senatus PupulusQue Romanus: did you know that the Roman street catchbasins
