	FYI: The title is simply "Chief Justice of the United States." @jmsatira - Three other Tyler facts: he's the only person to have served as president, vice president, governor, and in both houses of Congress; he's the only former president to be named a sworn enemy of the United States; and he's buried less than 50 feet from James Monroe.

	You should add William Henry Harrison, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy. Oh wait...

	Here in Pedants' Corner, we would like the removal of the full stop after the "S" of Harry S Truman

	Wow! Didn't expect to see this quiz on the front page- thanks Sporcle! I'd say that I'm in Sporcle heaven this month, but that makes me wonder if there's a Sporcle purgatory. And if I'm wondering out loud about that, then I'd have to wonder what Sporcle Purgatory would be called. Sporcatory? Purgacle? Spurgatorcle? And by then I'd just be getting ridiculous, so I'll quit while I'm ahead. As to the "S" in Truman's name, I put the dot after the S since Truman himself signed it that way: http://www.qotd.org/sigs/Truman_Harry_S.png

	If there is a Sporclgatory I think I'm in it. In mid-May I had 3 editors picks and a publication, but I must have done something wrong in the meantime. I have started noticing that a smaller group of users are getting more quizzes published, although I might be imagining it. [/whining]

	I can't decide what would be worse: Spurgatorcle or just regular Purgatory. Yes, Hejman is correct to include the period after the 'S'. That issue has been debated on Sporcle so many times that I just started leaving out his middle initial altogether in my quizzes.

	@hscer- You're "Presidential ultra close-ups" is among my favorite quizzes. Keep 'em coming. @LTH You were the first one who pointed out to me that Truman himself put the dot/period/full stop there. If it was good enough for him, it's good enough for me.

	Had to guess on the Hoover one. Just ran through possible ones till I got it

	Also add "Watches World Cup non-stop" to Bill Clinton.

	Great quiz...nice mix of pretty much obvious clues, clues that can be figured out with geography/time period, and a couple that require a bit of guessing.

	LanceUppercut:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 13:48 GMT		6 points
	It's actually University at Buffalo, not University of Buffalo. It's one of those weird ones.

	Hejman:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 15:09 GMT		2 points
	@LanceUppercut- Ah yes, the SUNY schools are all 'State University of New York AT..." You'd think, as close to UB as I lived for 18 years, I would have remembered that.

	zlb33:	Jul 2nd, 2010 at 22:40 GMT		1 point
	And I thought University of Buffalo was a private university.

	Could have had a good one for Polk: "Died three months after leaving office."

	how did harry truman receive the first medicare card when medicare did not go into effect until 1965? and agree, there is no "chief justice of the us supreme court", only a chief justice of the united states.

	Hejman:	Sep 23rd, 2010 at 11:44 GMT		5 points
	@daddycool- Because Harry Truman didn't die until 1972.

	@zertrudetrout The record on this issue seems pretty clear in favor of the "full stop". My dictionary defines pedant as 'one who exhibits one's learning or scholarship ostentatiously'. The definition does not encompass one's lack of learning. Btw you are really asking for the removal of the full stop in Harry S. Truman since there is no full stop in Harry S Truman.
