	Accept last names only.

	fatbeard:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 04:41 GMT		3 points
	@ned doesn't that kinda cancel out the idea of alliteration?

	emily227:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 05:00 GMT		-1 points
	no, people are just too lazy to type the first and last name, and spelling on first names can be difficult

	dion:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 05:31 GMT		2 points
	since its an alliteration i thought part of the point would be to type in both

	The:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 08:01 GMT		-3 points
	ummmmmmmmm...pretty sure "Shea Stadium" isn't an alliteration

	Chris968:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 13:31 GMT		1 point
	Pretty sure both those words start with S, so that would make it alliteration. Love the asterisk by the Home Run King lol

	MeltedMan:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 14:45 GMT		0 points
	Agree with The: Shea Stadium isn't an alliteration. They have different consonant sounds. The letter doesn't matter, it's the sound.

	Illini13:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 16:07 GMT		3 points
	alliteration classically means the same sound, but is has come to be accepted as having only the same letter. also i agree only last names should be accepted. The object of the quiz is to get the answer right, and inane spelling difficulties prohibit that

	amoore2669:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 17:04 GMT		1 point
	agree that last names only should be accepted

	dion:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 17:14 GMT		1 point
	last names accepted now

	TheBiscuit:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 18:12 GMT		5 points
	If Sean Connery were taking this quiz, he'd argue that "Shea" and "Stadium" share a beginning sound ...

	bosox123:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 18:34 GMT		6 points
	love the asterisk next to Barry Bonds.

	kmad:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 19:06 GMT		1 point
	Steve Smith was also a defenseman for the Edmonton Oilers in the 80s.

	king21:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 19:26 GMT		1 point
	My only gripe with last names only is that you can currently type in "black" "stadium" and "four" and get answers. Since none of these are people, it doesn't make sense to have them work this way. I'm sure there's a way to fix this though, so if anyone knows please help.

	yankeessuck8991:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 21:08 GMT		-4 points
	remove the asterisk. major league baseball accepts barry bonds as the all time home run king. are you a higher authority to baseball than mlb?

	dion:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 21:17 GMT		2 points
	wow. chill. joke.

	Haushinka:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 22:30 GMT		-1 points
	I agree with the previous posts about Shea Stadium not being an alliteration. Alliteration is the same consonant sound, and "sh" and "s" are clearly not the same sound. I agree with the asterisk, by the way. Hopefully the baseball world will come around one day.

	Ned:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 23:58 GMT		1 point
	Oh, sorry. I didn't fully understand the point of the quiz. In that case, last names only probably shouldn't be accepted.

	nhrafan:	Jan 1st, 2010 at 00:55 GMT		1 point
	for a quiz like this, making last names acceptable is not as simple as clicking the accept last word only box. since it is a mix of people's names and other things, you would have to go through and manually make the last name of each person an acceptable alternate answer so as to avoid making the word stadium, arena, etc acceptable. im not saying anything about how this quiz should be organized, just saying what would need to be done

	cocky:	Jan 1st, 2010 at 02:10 GMT		1 point
	Humphrey's middle name was Horatio. That makes it a three name alliteration.

	nut:	Jan 1st, 2010 at 04:20 GMT		-2 points
	shouldnt have Barry Bonds as part of a clue to one answer when he's an answer himself

	Endegrim:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 22:02 GMT		1 point
	Alliteration is repetition of the same sound or consonant, so all of these are correct as alliterations.
