Please post each term/phrase separately Every time you post a question, you contribute to the building of KudoZ as a searchable system. We can together build the KudoZ system as a useful tool by using it as intended, i.e., by following a simple set of rules, or, alternatively, build an incoherent jumble by only following the dictates of immediate convenience. One of the rules is to post one term/phrase at a time. Thanks for your contributions to KudoZ and ProZ.
