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.

Except that Canadians don't say aboot. I think some Scottish people do, but I have no idea how that got associated with Canada.

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)

the "I heart this city" is too vague to know that it specifically refers to New York City, otherwise a good quiz.

Doesn't help that "I NY" was a campaign for the state, not specifically the city.

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

PS it is at 80% now

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.

For some reason I read "Spaniard's EYES" instead of "yes". I was confused.

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."

I got most of these almost instantly, except for "To exist", where I got stuck on "is" and "am" for a while.

Which, since they are conjugates of to be, are valid answers. Question should be modified or those answers should be accepted.

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.

2 ^ 30 bytes.

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".
