	(2)90% certainty	“Diverse perspectives” are nice to have, but if that’s what the Mayor’s after, then that’s what he should pursue — and he should do so in a gender-neutral fashion, as any normal person would.	That certainly doesn’t mean that the qualities and merits of any given individual shouldn’t be weighed and valued.

	(2)90% certainty	I contend that there ought to have been a better solution and to that effect the policymakers in the given scenarios should rethink and revisit their policies or decisions in order to reach a comprehensive solution.

be supposed to	(1)expectation
be to	(1)strong expectation	The point is these students who are said to be given diplomas have been on campus undergoing degree training for now close to five years commencing September 2008-2012!

	(5)impossibility (negative only)	My son's male partner could legally officiate at my daughter's wedding, but could not marry my son.	The kind of days when I would wake up and decide I couldn't be bothered to go to the gym.

On day four, I cried when I discovered I'd left my debit card at home, and would have to borrow all my money off  Brock.
