Oh goody! To my ex-supervisor, it is FRUStrated, NOT FLUStrated! Also, we should pull the tablecloth TAUT, not TAUNT!

Phew! That felt good! Thank you!

ننگرهار

چاودنې د چپرهار امنيه قومندان وواژۀ

د افغانستان په ختيځ ولايت ننگرهار کې ديوې بمي چاودنې له امله د چپرهار امنيه قومندان وژل شوى او د هغه دوه ساتونکي ټپيان شوې دي .

Your honour, this is mirror image. It makes no sense at all and should be withdrawn.

All such script is indented from the right - not the left.

In any case قومندان is a preposition.

Still don't understand....

I can read and understand some Arabic. I know about reading it from right to left.

(preposition) قومندان

Can you please translate that so that I know what kind of preposition it is? Right now, if I'm reading it correctly in Arabic, it reads "qoumendaan". -- And, no, there is no "u" after this "q". The "q" is pronounced like a glottal stop in the back of the throat.

I can print it out and have my Arabic friends translate it, I suppose. But since you placed it on the site, I thought you might be able to translate it.

Thanks.

I thought I'd left all of this behind in my 7th grade classroom. I thought everyone had learned everything they needed to know and would be able, as adults, to express themselves clearly AND correctly...hmmmmm...many of "my kids" would feel right home...and miss the humor.
