Hey, you might want to update the 'Leading World Cup Goalscorer' question as it is now not true, considering that Miroslav Klose surpassed it at this year's World Cup. Thanks

Ramadan is often transliterated to Ramzan, Ramazan. These answers should be accepted.

Level 83

Sep 23, 2015

Have spent the majority of my time the past seven years in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, also considerable time in Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Israel, Turkey... never saw anybody refer to Ramzan..

Level 82

Jun 25, 2017

At least as a name it appears also elsewhere, particularly in ex USSR it seems (e.g. current president of Chechnia).

Level 74

Nov 13, 2018

Yup, Ramazan in much of the Muslim world Iran and east.

Level 55

Sep 10, 2020

True! 'Ramzan' is a faster pronunciation in Turkish, and a fair transliteration of Ramazan, and is used widely outside the Arab states (which combined only make up ~23% of all Muslims worldwide). Ramazan it is.

I am surprised that someone has not already tried to show off by pointing out that Ringo's given first name is Richard and requested that be accepted. (Wait! I guess it's me.)

Level 72

Sep 23, 2015

can't buy into this...His last name is also Starkey. It asks for first name for Starr. He is either Richard Starkey or Ringo Starr, but never Richard Starr

Level 66

Sep 23, 2015

You are correct, but if you accept my comment without the jocular parenthetical ending you will note that I was actually intending to mock the suggestion that Richard be accepted.

Level 70

Nov 14, 2018

i met him once

Level 78

Aug 26, 2023

That's pretty cool

Level 65

Nov 14, 2018

I tried Richard first, because I knew that was his first name.

Level 86

Dec 13, 2017

Rue (as in McClanahan) is used in cooking. And the proper spelling of the river is Rhein, which should be accepted.

Level 85

Dec 14, 2017

Rhein is not the *only* proper spelling... That river also flows in France and the Netherlands, you know?

Level 65

Aug 7, 2019

yea you could also say the proper spelling is Rijn. But I agree I tried Rhein first and think it should be accepted

Level 65

Aug 7, 2019

But I agree I tried Rhein first and think it should be accepted. As the general custom is to accept the answer in the native tongue of whatever country the question is about.

Level 78

Aug 26, 2023

I don't think that's the general custom at all, e.g. Italian cities

Level 69

Dec 20, 2017

Rue McClanahan is definitely not used in cooking. Perhaps you are thinking of roux?

Level 86

May 25, 2020

Nope, "rue", Latin name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruta_graveolens

Level 37

Mar 1, 2018

PLEASE require the "h" in Riyadh, I'm tired of having to go back and delete before I go on to the next question, because you have accepted "Riyad."

Level 48

Sep 28, 2018

i, too, hate the auto-accept when i am head-down typing in an answer

Level 73

Nov 13, 2018

"riyadhrueramadanraphaelreggaerural", damn it!

Level 27

Nov 26, 2018

quizzes like this make me get used to the "Riyad" spelling and I mess it up elsewhere too :D

Level 78

Dec 2, 2019

Yes. Agreed

Level 61

Nov 13, 2018

Aww, you're so strict on the spelling! Would have had 100% with a little flexibility. We're brilliant, not necessarily smart!

Level 65

Aug 7, 2019

Haha, I like that, brilliant but not necessarily smart :)

(Atleast you can write necessarily right, it is my nemesis...)

Level 78

Dec 2, 2019

Only got rosemary from the lyrics 'Parsley sage, rosemary and thyme' from Scarborough Fair.

Level 74

Jan 26, 2021

It's delicious - stick it in your next bolognese!

Level 85

Sep 18, 2021

Stick it in my WHAT???

Level 71

May 25, 2020

Yeah, well, I was thinking that Rue McLanahan could use the herb rue in her cooking, right? (Tricky, since rue is also the answer to another question on the quiz.)

Level 86

May 25, 2020

I put that comment awhile back. Rue is the common name for the herb Ruta Graveolens (you can find it under either name in Wikipedia).

Level 45

Jun 9, 2021

I somehow the answer "Roe" while trying to type something that sounds french for the french word for street question.

Level 83

Aug 25, 2023

I kept trying Rinaldo, not understanding. It's spelled Ronaldo???

Level 78

Aug 26, 2023

Yes, the other Ronaldo

Level 74

Aug 26, 2023

can you please accept Richard Rodgers at the last question? it's his full name and also begins with R

Level 74

Aug 26, 2023

Rodgers is more well known than Radiohead? Ok.
