My dictionary does know this word (klin), but it knows the word kiln - a furnace or oven for burning, baking, or drying something, esp. one for firing pottery, calcining limestone, or baking bricks. _________________ con·text - The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or passage and determines its meaning. |

He / She is giving examples as to how overcrowding has a direct effect on the stores sales. _________________ Keep it simple ... Keep it interesting. |
