[AccessD] MS Access Skills Assessment and Testing

Arthur,

In fact "spasdomically" is a real word, and is the result when a Dom is working on a Sub and gets a 
little overzealous.  The Sub goes into spasms otherwise known as "spasdoms".

I'm thinking you don't know everything there is to know about "Miss Mosquin".  In fact I'm guessing 
"Mistress" would be perhaps closer to the truth.
