What do you call a metal cup used to spit in?

Spittun *
Cup
Bowl
Pot

The spelling is incorrect. according to wiki....
1. Spittoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A spittoon (or spitoon) is a receptacle made for spitting into, especially by users of chewing and dipping tobacco.

Please correct this.

Purportedly? So it doesn't work? Roomba is the name of a robotic vacuum cleaner, so using "purportedly" in this question makes the question wrong.

There is an acid called diacetic acid (same as acetoacetic acid) a bit close in spelling to the correct answer.

i just had a question accepted but have noticed i made a typo:(

A major difference between the societies of the United States and Japan is the presence in the United States of a higher degree of ?
cultural diversity. <-- right
religious conformity

access to elementary education

I personally think that it's an opinion type question and not particularly based on fact, though I can see why cultural diversity is the answer.

Which of the following is NOT an Eagles song?

desperoto

Which of the following conflicts (wars) were most recent?
The American Revolution (America v. Great Briton)
World War I (everyone across globe)
World War II (Axis v. Ally)
The Cold War (US v. Russia) *

The Cold War is not an actual war and as such should not be a valid answer. It wasn't even a conflict. There was no fighting between these 2 countries, no declared battle lines. The cold war was nothing more than a label given to the differences between 2 super power countries who disagreed on how they ran things. Communist vs. Capitalist. This answer should be allowed.

Uhm, shouldn't that be "What are..." and besides I think this is a specialist knowledge question.


Well English is also a commonly spoken language in Mexico, which makes this question ambiguous, not an official language though, which is probably what was meant by the question.

Actually Rok, there was a lot of fighting, just not officially. Vietnam, Korea, Aphanistan, etc. were conflicts between them in their struggle to control the world. The only difference was that the 2 armies did not meet directly, when USA send troops, Russia was arming and training the other side and vise versa. But it was still a war and that is what the question asks.

Not really an opinion. USA is mada up of many different immigrants who incorporated their culture to the union. Japan was a closed country up to the end of WW2, without any major immigration of other cultures even then. So Japaneese culture might be diverse from area to area but it does not begin to reach the level of diversity that cultures from dozen different nations brought to the USA.

I think i passed this one because i wasnt sure if it was too special due to the global hit the pirates movies were. So apparently it is not so i would support removing it

I just got the question "Who sells sea shells by the seashore?"

2 ambiguous possible answers. Suzie or Sally could be used to answer this (which are two possible choices in the quiz). I have heard it both ways.

Which Brazilian city's aiport is called Congonhas?


Aside from the misspelling of "aiport", how exactly does this qualify as anything but uninteresting & lexical?


As for the previous post, I always learned it Sally - but both are obviously quite viable.

There were a question about the price of the yellow healing potion. I didn't think it would be wrong. So I chose 300, but the "correct" answer was 270. Well that's s..ks, because the initial price is 300 and if there are 5 levels of palace the price is lowered to 270!
