PS Predicting WAR with question 4  Yep  I think there may be a difference between one loose item and "one loose item" Does it have to be something I can buy single, loose, without having it weighed? For the Ireland question, can I resubmit a new answer now that we've changed from "Ireland" to "the country of Ireland"? What is Ireland - if it isn't the country of Ireland? |

an island split into the north and the republic. both the island and the country use the same name. if it was republic specific then question would've specified republic of ireland surely |

PS Predicting WAR with question 4 Yep I think there may be a difference between one loose item and "one loose item" think it's going to be the 'vegetable' bit that will cause problems. [X] Matt and I have compared our answers [ ] Matt's answer to Q4 is a vegetable I'm thinking matt's grasp of english is somewhat limited. he didn't know what a soap opera was last quiz not to mention the suffix debacle! |

At least the RSQ is back on course. Ambiguity and farcicity FTW.  |

an island split into the north and the republic. both the island and the country use the same name. if it was republic specific then question would've specified republic of ireland surely Going off previous RSQs, you expect the questions to be non-ambiguous and non-controversial? If in doubt, play it safe. |

[X] Matt and I have compared our answers [ ] Matt's answer to Q4 is a vegetable I'm thinking matt's grasp of english is somewhat limited. he didn't know what a soap opera was last quiz funny how when i wondered about my answer the first two sites i looked at said my answer was a vegetable. When we compared answers you looked at 2 sites and 2 online dictionaries and they confirmed the same. as for the soap operas it all depends on your definition, same characters appearing week in week out sometimes with the stories continuing from one episode to the next - not much difference between a soap opera and a sitcom......... (to be honest my watching of animals in soap operas usually ends when i used to turn over coronation street during the opening credits with the cat sitting on the back alley wall!) |
