Ok, I have girded my loins against those who will find that I have misspelled a word or used an adverb instead of a noun. I will accept complaints and corrections, but you must diagram your sentences for them to be considered legitimate.

I have met some of these fussbudget librarians. They are the ones who ssssuuuuuuuusssssshhhhhh you in the library. That rarely happens now as many of the public libraries I have been encourage noise. Not the law libraries though unless these are public law libraries near Court houses.
I had to sssssuuussshhhhhh people while on the Reference Desk at the University of Minnesota Law Library.
