	I always like double-category games, especially the number ones! Great quiz, Flick!

	heatherh:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 05:09 GMT	29 points
	thank gosh I typed too fast so that I put non instead of noun

	Bobman1:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 05:23 GMT	7 points
	Mel Brooks (and Marcel Marceau) not getting much love. Dang, I thought he was Dr. Watson. When that failed, I tried the more casual, "Oh, Watson...." Fun quiz!

	IHateRegistering:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 05:31 GMT	13 points
	Hmmm... I find it odd that there is no "Article" (The, a, an, ect.) listed as a part of speech.

	Typing in "Belgium" gave me "Be"

	4 and 1: Perfect case of "use to the quiz to take the quiz"

	This was a great quiz! Lots of fun. Thanks!

	@IHateRegistering, I think that articles are traditionally considered a subset of adjectives.

	Another case of Sporclitis: No problem with the anagrams or Suriname, but missed "And"!

	I guessed British as a UK language. I feel stupid.

	I'm going to make him a prepostion proposition he can't refuse...

	I thought it said MOST words spoken on the phone...

	Meltha:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 14:41 GMT	3 points
	@IHateRegistering Technically, articles are a subset of adjectives as they limit the word they are applied to.

	@Link_41: In English, articles are considered a subset of adjectives, and interjections are certainly a full-fledged part of speech.

	booklover12:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 17:58 GMT	4 points
	I remembered who SAID the only word in Silent Movie (Marcel Marceau, which is what made it funny) but not what the word WAS. (Sigh)

	ktappe:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 18:15 GMT	4 points
	I really enjoyed this one. Never seen Silent Movie though so I was dead in the water on that one. Oh well.

	@maniac bob: Oh! Thanks for a good quiz, Flick.

	Booklender4:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 20:59 GMT	6 points
	Totally misunderstood the first words spoken on the telephone thing. I started typing "hello" and "ahoy" and couldn't figure out why they weren't working.

	Tomodach1:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 21:00 GMT	1 point
	Afrikaans is a language derive from Dutch. But I do not know if that should count. Dutch is also spoken in Indonesia, but I can't recall if it's still an official language. (It was, many decades ago.)

	holland and netherlands are the same country

	elendil:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 15:41 GMT	3 points
	@boone: informally. Netherlanders who don't live in the provinces of North Holland or South Holland tend to dislike that usage of "Holland", however.

	shneik137:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 19:05 GMT	3 points
	I think The Netherlands should be acceptable for Netherlands. It's a great quiz, and I owe some of my answers to School House Rock

	qifblackbeard:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 20:31 GMT	6 points
	LET'S GO SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK!!! I was blanking on them so I just decided to sing the songs.... helped a lot.

	eab21:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 21:25 GMT	2 points
	@Maniacbob: Yes, it is. An interjection would be something like "Wow!" or "Ouch!". Interjections cannot really be used in a sentence because they are so different from the other parts of speech, so they usually are their own sentence and end with an exclamation point.

	bug:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 03:26 GMT	5 points
	School House Rock now stuck in my head: Interjections! Show excitement! Or emotion!

	Tommy_C:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 15:26 GMT	2 points
	While it is Marcel Marceau speaking, we do not definitively know that he is speaking in French, so I think the quiz should accept the English spelling.

	jdaster64:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 03:52 GMT	7 points
	I got "Non!" thinking it was words spoken in silent movies, and starting to type in "none".

	skatty14:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 12:18 GMT	2 points
	Arabic! Can't believe I forgot that one...systematically entered every language I could think of, but missed that! Nice quiz, thanks!

	slamb:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 16:14 GMT	-4 points
	You left out "lentils" for the anagram!

	eab21:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 16:24 GMT	2 points
	@slamb: Two L's in "lentils," only one in "listen."

	musicman804:	Sep 9th, 2011 at 14:18 GMT	1 point
	I wish "The Netherlands" and "Holland" were acceptable answers for "Netherlands"

	sapphire_blu2:	Sep 11th, 2011 at 03:48 GMT	5 points
	^Holland isn't a separate country; it's a part of the Netherlands. Kinda like a US state or a Canadian province. :) My mom used to live in The Netherlands, and she explained it since it confused me all the time.
