Tough one. For me at least. My vocabulary isn't always as big as I'd like to think. At least I dont have to talk to you ppl. I'd probably sound like a 12 year old having read too many programming books.

I'd end up using stereoisometry, encapsulation, yellowjacket and daddy longlegs in the same sentence. :)

Any of you ever nailed it in one?

Yup. See post #947. I have stuck with the same seed so I don't expect a repeat.

Whew indeed!

I remember that I once thought: Should I take A or B, to begin with? I chose B and A was the solution.

 

[gmax137]

A near miss.

Yes, Catholics had an advantage.

[kuruman]

Yes, Catholics had an advantage.

Not only Catholics, but also Eastern Orthodox Christians. The Filioque that was added by the Catholic church to the formulation of this five-lettered word was one of the causes that led the the schism between the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches in the 11th century. Whatever happened to good old power struggle?

 

[gmax137]

I must confess, I had to cheat on this one. I found a scrabble website where I could find words ending in "O"

This cheating was so unsatisfying that I will never do that again.

Astounding so much credence a snippet of historic [sic?] information lends to a game of relatively little historical [sic?] impact.

Just now I had to look up whether to use historic or historical. Did I get it right? Does it matter? Do I have too much free time? :)

 

[kuruman]

Did I get it right?

I don't think so. It was a snippet of historical information about a historic event.
The information is current, e.g. in my post, the web etc. The fact that this information is an account of something that happened in the past makes it historical.

The event itself is over and done and resides entirely in the past. There are many such events that fit this description, e.g. I brushed my teeth this morning, so that alone does not make them historic. A historic event is one that, in addition to being over and done, affects subsequent events and alters "business as usual.". The schism between the two churches was such an event. The Russian Revolution was another.

Do I have too much free time? :)

Why are you asking? Do you feel guilty for indulging yourself once in a while? Have you pondered about the distinction between electric and electrical? We have electrical engineers figuring out electric fields; we do not have electric engineers figuring out electrical fields.

About learning Engslish I'm quite serious. I have few opportunities for speaking the language and obviously my vocabulary exceeds my understanding of details.

And no. Not guilty as such but sonetimes I wonder if not my time could've been used more productively.

It's hard really :)

Who is it that was collecting stats? Are you still doing that? I wonder how us PF participants compare to all players.

Here are my current stats, if interested: 0, 0, 9, 26, 18, 10, 3

The last number is # of failures.

You're doing fine. I wouldn't be able to tell that your native language is not English just by reading your posts. Actually, one often finds posts by native speakers that contain more grammatical infelicities than yours. A classic example is the confusion about when to use "it's" = "it is" and "its" = "belonging to it". This confusion is understandable because the English language allows one to make statements that look alike but mean different things. For example,
John's father's a teacher = the father of John is a teacher
John's father's car's a Ford = the car belonging to the father of John is a Ford.
One needs to be careful parsing the sentence in order to figure out its (not it's) meaning.

I'm glad and a little surprised by your assessment of my written language. My spoken ditto is another matter entirely though. Many of the words I use I've never heard spoken aloud so I'm often not clear on which syllable to put the enphasis.

By the way, my comment on my free time was meant entirely as a joke. It was even followed by a smiley. Please don't take me too seriously when I make silly statements like that.

EDIT: See just now I became unsure if it's "too serious' or "too seriously". I often go with my first impulse as that is usually the correct one. Also, as you mentioned, sometimes the language seems to allow more than one way. I'll let it stand and let you correct me if I'm wrong.
