ArchivesRe: Cool challenge! :)
in reply to a message by Nanaea
Hey Nan,
Whaddaya think? Can we find 15 apiece? I've submitted 6 so far, but I'm not sure Mike'll buy 'em all. But forget grammar -- except for the occasional cloudy antecedent reference which is technically correct anyway, this guy Campbell is one literate dude!
How bad is Pav gonna kick our arses on the Greek names?
Dave

Great stuff Daividh - exactly what I'm looking for. I'm not entirely sold on the Emmet = "an ant" meaning, but the 5 other corrections plus the other notes give you a total of 6 points. At this rate I'll have to add another tier at 30 points...
Nan, I'm afraid the judges can only give you 1/2 a point for your Oberon note (which wasn't technically a correction), giving you a total of 1.5 points, good for second place.
I'll post all of the corrections to the message board once the challenge ends.

That's okay about the half-point, I told you I was nitpickin'. :)
I've just submitted 6 more this morning. Can't let Daividh whup me. :)
And Daividh? Pavlos may kick our butts with the Greek names, but I have a strong suspicion that you'll be cleaning up the joint with the Celtic names. :)

Nice job Nan! You get credit for all 6 of those, bringing you to a total of 7.5.

Swede Jay-sus, some newbies need a clue
I sent two yesterday morning and two again this morning. I think I'll make two my daily quota -- unless you up the ante. ;) Am also including reference sources where I can.
Wonder how Pavlos is doing?
Mike needs to give us a daily score! LOL!
