sorry I spelled grammar wrong and I wrote sentences and sentences. I just want good sentences for the following words. And no I am not a good for nothing who does not do her homework. I just had 100 words to put into sentences and I just need these 20 to finish the assignment. Although it does not help I totally am brain dead to do this assignment any further. (the A.P. teacher gives a bolt-load of work)
thanks and no you don't have to help me.

(grammar)
A picayune was a Spanish coin, worth half a real. Its name derives from the French picaillon, which is itself from the Provençal picaioun, meaning "small coin". Besides being used in Spanish territories, it was also a common coin in the south of the United States, and the name has sometimes been used for the US 5-cent coin, which was once worth approximately the same as a picayune. By extension, the word can mean "trivial" or "of little value".

You really need to be doing your own homework. You can look up the definitions of each word on www.dictionary.com, and from there, come up with your own sentences. It'll take you no time at all, kid! :)
