One response to “Quiz answers”

  1. HDD says:

    The question about the pear got me, because there were two equally silly answers to the question, and I took the least silly choice.

    As to whether or not ‘dweeb’ is a word…the important qualifier in the question was “common”. ‘Dweeb’ is a slang word, and is only really common among a small portion of English speakers. ‘Dweamor’ is ALSO an English word that begins with ‘dw’, but, isn’t common enough to qualify as a correct answer. Heck, it’s so uncommon that your spellchecker doesn’t even recognize it as a word….

It helps, though, if you have Microsoft Internet Explorer  set about 1024x768 1280x1024 with your Favorites window activated on the left deactivated.  (At least until I can get a better handle on how WordPress works.)

(KORRIOTH:  Oh, great.  More wormholes.)

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?

And don't even  get me started on Opera or Chrome.  I'm not about  to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
