PREPOSITION:   Often considered one of the most important types of words in sentences, this
                                type of word connects a verb or noun to a modifying description.
                                prepositions help lead to "how" "where" "when" "position" or "time"

PRAETORIAN:  The designation of the imperial (royal) guards for the emperor of Rome during
                                     ancient times.  This group was an highly trained, very elite group
                                     of guards.  During more corrupt times, they would often take bribes
                                     in order to get rid of an emperor to bring in another person to rule Rome.
                                     Any group of highly specialized guards for one person can now be
                                     referred  to as a "praetorian guard," meant to make us think of the Roman
                                     guard.
