I find it hard to think about a dwelling as a location. Shouldn't a location be a bit more unique? Or maybe we'll have Locations-by-letter-U and "upstairs" is one of the answers.
Iwoto (or Iwo To) is official Japanese name for the island since 2007. It also appears that way on some newer English language maps published by the US Navy, so I agree the answer should be changed, or at least Iwoto and Iwojima should both be allowable type-ins.
kalba.... do you mean people actually read the comments before doing the quiz?? to me, that's cheating... i prefer to be shot down in flames by answering to the best of my ability, not to the best of someone else's...and so often, my spelling means i cannot get an answer i can say but not type correctly
stone: yes, many users do that, but no, that's not what I meant. If the quiz author changes the accepted type-ins for answers it will make the quiz easier for the next person who takes it who doesn't know how to spell whether they cheat by looking at the comments or not.
When people say "please accept..." do they expect the Quizmaster to go back and change their scores? Or are they just going to take the quiz over again, now that they've seen the answers? I don't understand this.
I think they're trying to be generous toward those who have not yet taken the quiz by suggesting type-ins for answers. Or, maybe they anticipate getting the answer wrong in a couple years when the quiz rotates through the front page again. Usually when I make such a comment I'm just trying to be helpful.
Yes, in French, in Spanish, in Portuguese, in Italian... In all these Latin languages, countries are written with capital letter, of course, but nationalities and languages are not.
