Keyword sort
Koohii Story 1 Note this character means sort in the sense of what kind, I believe a better keyword would be "variety" and this character does appear in some dictionaries with the primary meaning as variety, my story: I´m in a Chinese restaurant and the waiter says "What sort of rice would you like with your dog head?".
Koohii Story 2 Condi Rice is the SORT of person that would give HEADaches to a BIG DOG.....This story has been edited because of people reporting it. I like it better without "aches", but whatever works for you!
