Blitz4532 01/02/18 8:48:11 PM #9:	This reminds me of something similar a while ago here. There was a game show called catch phrase and the host was a senile old idiot. One answer in particular was "boogeyman", but when the woman answered that he said it was wrong, as the answer according to him was "bogeyman".

It feels like the show is just an exercise to see how anal the judges can be.

Yea but Jeopardy has always been very strict with answers. Having the right answer inside a larger wrong answer isn't usually grounds to give the person credit. The category was before and after. The correct response was a mashup of Gangtas Paradise and Paradise Lost. Oh, okay. They were talking about it on the radio this morning, but only provided his answer and the correction, not the category. That makes more sense. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

The problem I have with it and stuff like the the "mythological hero Achilles" is that it seems arbitrary some many words have multiple ways of being pronounced (some more subjective than others). If you're gonna count technically incorrect pronunciations as completely wrong answers, whats to stop them from saying "hot caw-fee" is wrong if they were looking for it to be provided "hot caw-fee." Plus like, it's a whole other can of worms when you consider if someone has a foreign accent that makes it difficult to pronounce certain sounds. --- AKA Level 36 ForestWanderer / ObjectiveLogic <cite>ForestLogic posted [p:893414201] in Lol some d...
