it is the same now. Maybe he was in the news around the time of your post. Or maybe people have taken more quizzes on jetpunk since. Because jutland is an answer quite often. One of those things if you didnt know it before, you will now.
Jean is french for John (they come from Johannes). Jacques is french for James (they both come from Jacomus I think). Jack and Jacques are what we call "false friends".
Again, giving in to idiocy. Janis Joplin is not Janice Joplin, any more than Kuala Lumpur is Kuala Lampur (which, by the way,,this quiz does not accept).
what crusher said, if it is a logical spelling and it sounds nearly exactly the same ( your examples do not come close) it is reasonable to accept. Unless it is words you see written al over the place. In which case you can be more firm and expect a better spelling.
For example, ingland might sound like england.. but should not be accepted because it is a word you come across written very often.
"Islamic "struggle", not always holy war". Thank you! Too bad Estonian media still calls jihadists "holy fighters", even when the jihadists are killing other Muslims.
If they're killing other Muslims it's because they believe that those Muslims are not true Muslims, or that there is some other religious basis for doing so.
Good point, kthiesen. Schlomo, have you got a better argument than "just go away please" to offer? I had a read of this article, and am interested to see that not one country outside of Israel recognises Jerusalem as the capital. I'm inclined to go with Jerusalem as the capital because I think a country ought to be able to name where its capital is! but I hadn't realised that the UN Security Council has declared Israel's occupation of the city to be null and void. A tricky one.
Thanks for the clarification, Jerry928. Israel, like several other UN members, takes a very cherry-picking and often hypocritical interpretation of UN resolutions, but this question has no place in a supposedly objective quiz, however trivial (which this point isn't). Sorry, Schlomohoward, but the days of the world at large "just going away" are over.
I don't believe any country officially recognises Tel Aviv as the capital either. What's disputed is whether Israel has a capital at all, not which city is the capital.
Yeah. Tel Aviv is not the capital in any case. It's clear that Israel declared J. as the capital, and that UN doesn't recognize it as Israeli. If you take it that it means J. can't be the capital, you can't just decide on another city.
Thank you! I had no idea who the hell is this. I thought that it's from a TV show or something. If the question was about George W. Bush, I'd have gotten it right...
there was a peanut butter question? a that must be that Jif thing that is a cleaning product in the rest of the world. (and thinking of both literally gives me a soapy taste in my mouth right now !! yuck !!!)
I didnt know that. I indeed found it sounding rather "country" like peggy-sue or something. I have no idea what you mean by status quo family though. I do know how status quo is normally used though.
Dubya threw me off big time. Thought it was a movie character, not realising George W. Bush was meant. Could his official name be used instead of Dubya?
Anyhow, 100% @ 2:23.
For example, ingland might sound like england.. but should not be accepted because it is a word you come across written very often.
Are we part of a cunning research project to see if a brand / politician's recognition is changing over time?
For explanation, it stands for double u (his middle initial "w"). If you say it fast/with an exagerated accent you get dubya
Thanks for the info. Always thought that Jeb was a strange name
for such a status quo family.
Drop that Hundo!
How does a rainbow work?
It just does.
You would be nothing without the sun!
