Famous People Fractured

:) What made you think of this?

Also called Mad Gabs.

I think it is time for #2.

Can you please accept Santa Claws for Santa Claus.

Cool picture!

Not speaking English as a first language, these are HARD. Especially cause I seldom or never heard anybody pronounce "Doctor Seuss" (I got as far as Doctor Who?). Happy with my 13/18 even though it was just 40%.

Native English speaker here - I put Doctor Who at first as well

And his name was actually pronounced Soyss.

I was taught Soo-iss

Kiwi, you're the resident master of creating quizzes by slicing and dicing words!

And 40 of his starred quizzes say so!

You do quite like word games? :)

Buck spun he and Mow bead hick seemed a little out of place on a 'famous people' quiz. The first I guess I can forgive, since he is so heavily anthropomorphized, but the white whale?

Haha, so weird, but I like it!

Pssst... it's "jowl", not "jowel". Also, if you haven't read "Ladle Rat Rotten Hut" (available freely online), you should.

nice one. well done.

That was fun. Didn't get Nelson Mandela tho

Loved this one. Thanks. We must have different accents. I noticed a couple of the names which ended in an "a" were given clues which ended in the "er" sound which in my accent is more of an "uh" sound. I say Michelle Obam-uh rather than Obam-er (er as in the ending of Hitler) and I say Nelson Mandel-uh, rather than your Mandel-er.

SO... if you pronounce it that way... and your name has kiwi in it... would I be correct in guessing you live near some hobbit holes?

I had never heard of a non-rhotic accent, which led me to the Wikipedia page on Rhoticity in English. It was interesting and explained when, where, and how a lot of our accent changes came about - at least regarding the letter r. Thank you. (Despite my being American, my accent is older, but lower class.)

This was very fun! Some were quite challenging, but I manged to get them all. :)

Moby Dick isn't a "person," technically.

Brilliant idea. Kiwirage scores once again.

Cleopatra really had me until the last second...fun quiz

For Jowel stick-ins to sound like Charles Dickens you really need to have the cold

A lot of fun :)

I think a better one for Michelle Obama is Me shell Or Bomb Ma

This quiz was a lot of fun. I would like to try some more

I was also one to think that it was Doctor Who and not Doctor Seuss.

If you like these quizzes, then try out something similar on my profile called "Syllabostics."

I kept trying Michael Hordern (famous mid 20th C English actor - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hordern) - couldn't think of Michael Jordan.

This is a phenomenal quiz! Awesome job, thanks for making it!

Loved it :)

That's a battle Seuss himself gave up on long, long ago. He reportedly came around to the Anglicized pronunciation of it anyway, as it was evocative of Mother Goose.

Awesome quiz

i dont think ive ever laughed this much in my entire life a doll fiddler is v v v v v v good impressed

How on earth do you guys pronounce cleopatra?? (like colorpetra? or clearpetra?) What accent is that (seriously, not trying to be rude, literally wondering about the accent), I got it (how could you not with it ending in petra), but it seems so be the one most distant from its original. Cull cant sound like cle, not to me anyway.

Maybe make it Clay owe pet Ra?

I only got Moby Dick because of Charles Dickens

Such a fun quiz!!
