Reading "deja" in your clue, I wondered what language it was and I didn't think at all it could be the French word "déjà" ! ;-) Even in English, Wikipedia writes the acute and grave accents in "déjà vu"... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9j%C3%A0_vu

Not really. To those fluent in other languages, leaving off the diacritics often renders the word unrecognizable. They aren't merely "decorative". In some languages, the diacritics create entirely new letters, though that is not the case here.

It's not nitpicking at all, Malbaby from 8 years ago!

I speak Spanish and French, and:

- "deja" is clearly Spanish, from the verb 'dejar' meaning 'leave'/'stop' etc. Written like this I would have thought "deja __" = "deja DE" as in "deja de molestar!"

- "déjà" is clearly French, meaning 'already' / ´previously' etc, not possible to be Spanish and obviously "déjà __" = "déjà VU".

Good decision QM!

My daughter worked at McDonalds while in high school. A woman came in and ordered a burger with oot cheese. My daughter was puzzled and explained that they didn’t have oot cheese on the menu. The woman became irritated and spelled it for her, w-i-t-h-o-u-t. My daughter apologized and later asked where she was from and it was somewhere in Canada. So it is very likely that there is a region in Canada where they say aboot instead of about. (And apparently they like their burgers with oot cheese.)

Agreed. Even though Canadians may say 'Eh,' most of the world pronounces it with an 'Ay' due to its similar sounding in dialects.

At first I typed ey because that is how I would write that sound, then remembered it was written in a way that was counterintuitive for me and got it right. But eh to me is the sound someone makes when hesistating like erm and uhm.

Ay is like ai ai ai. (or as mentioned above ay caramba)

After perhaps trying other ones first.. So that is not really a valid remark. New york is the most famous american city so if the one(s) people tried didn't work, they were gonna look for what likely would work.

I agree it is not specific.

I thought which one would he mean, because I thought of several (not NY) and only because I couldn't choose I eventually landed on NY, because I thought it needs to be something to is known in most places.

A better clue might be .. Yankees

Being able to get/guess something does not equate to being a good clue.

Gettable, certainly! Good clue, not really

“After perhaps trying other ones first. So that is not really a valid remark.”

If 4/5 people are able to eventually guess the right city, then why wouldn’t it be a valid remark? The hint doesn’t have to be ultra-specific for it to be good. Even if New York wasn’t their first guess, the phrase “I❤️NY” is still well-known enough to be something most people will try. And in the context of this being a two letter answer quiz, this is probably the only hint that makes sense.

Sorry folks. You just have to be old to get this one instantly. I [heart] New York was the original, and anyone over 50 would only have a problem if they type as badly as most of us do.

In Europe is the country code for Germany not just D?

It is on cars anyway.

GB = UK

IRL = Ireland

D = Germany

DK = Denmark

Well, but D is only one letter. And I think they're going by this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2

It's worldwide vehicle registration code for Germany, not just in Europe. But there are also ISO two-letter and three-letter codes.

In the US, country code suggests an international phone dialing code, so I had no idea.

Am I the only one who assumed country code meant the code typed in before phoning someone in said country from abroad? Like the US is 001 and China is 86? I didn't know the answer (it's 49), but I spent my remaining seconds guessing random 2 digit number combinations. Is it possible to change the clue to country abbreviation instead of country code?

But it doesn't ask for the international dialling code, it asks for the country code. Which is DE.

It's a two-letter quiz, not two-character. That should be enough to read the clue correctly.

Usually when a comment on the internet begins with "Am I the only one who..." the answer is: "No, literally everyone else did too." But in this instance the answer is, "Yeah, probably."

Guess I have to be "that guy" who points out that a GB isn't precisely a billion bytes - it's something like 1.074 billion. Could be corrected by adding "roughly" as a qualifier.

Level 74
Nov 28, 2022
It depends. It can be either, depending on the context and who's doing the calculation (e.g. the hard drive vendor is using 1 GB = 10e6 bytes, while your "disk free" calculation is using 1 GB = 2^30 bytes). Knuth suggested using different prefixes for the base-2 analogs, e.g. "Kibi", "Meba" and "Giba" or something like that, to differentiate, which never really caught on. There's no real consistency; I've seen people even mix these bases, so 1 kB = 1024 bytes but 1MB = 1000 kB. It's the wild west.

"Ig" isn't a prefix to nite, it's just part of the word, and it bears no meaning by itself, unlike in the "ignoble" example, in which means "the opposite" or just "not".

True, but I think "prefix" is being used in the sense of "letters that can go at the beginning of a word".

It's a quiz site for kids, what do you expect?

Instead of -NITE it could be...

-LOO

-UANA

-NORE

-LESIAS
