Did some reading on the Richter scale just recently actually after the terrible events in Nepal. I was interested to find out that the Richter scale is not really in use anymore despite the media using the term. Most use the moment magnitude scale. Not that this information is in any way pertinent to this quiz...
sort of like the 'F' scale with tornadoes. Since the mid 2000s, meteorologists have used the Enhanced Fujita scale. The storms are now rated EF0-EF5, but likely because of the popularity of the movie Twister, media coverage still refers to them as F0-F5 storms.
I know a number of their hits and like to sing along when they're on the radio. I was even playing one of their songs on my guitar just yesterday and was reading about Stevie Nicks recently. Their album names have never really come up in any of that.
I'm under 30 and Rumours is probably my favorite album. And "Dreams" is very well-known in my age group because of a Tiktok that went viral a few years ago. People definitely know the songs, just not the album name (like martay above).
Ritalin almost got me. I don't know if it's the same elsewhere, but where I live (BC Canada) we usually pronounce it "Ridalin," with a "d" sound instead of a "t." Kept trying different spellings with a "d", and then sure enough, because I've been burned with this "t" vs "d" sound before, I tried a "t" and got it right. Never seen it written out before! XD
Had to think hard for the star could not get Riga out of my head first, I knew it was similar (especially in my own language where I believe the rig part is pronounced the same, unlike in English where both the i as well as the g is pronounced (so something like rieka and raidzjul vs rihu and rihul)
by Fleetwood Mac. I listened to that on my turntable back in the day... Oh man I'm really showing my age here.... God I'm getting old...
