	I don't understand why "fruit" is an acceptable answer for "linen".

	I thought diamond was one?

	"Flower" gets to "Linen" too. Hey, I did 13/22 and I'm not even American... good.

	YAY!!!i got them all, not married, american or even out of college :D Just from my personal experience though, i would not dare give my wife paper on our first anniversary...She would probably beat on me :)

	Diamond is 60, Platinum is 70. Both should AT LEAST be bonus answers...

	Candy should be included as an alternate answer for 6 and Willow for 9. My husband and I got married at Christmas time, so I get a tree ornament made of the traditional material each year for our anniversary. Some are harder than others! This year for Ivory, I got one made of vegetable ivory!

	@Skel: Best way to avoid a beating would be to get her two gifts: one traditional, one she really wants. Be a hero!

	You've got "Aluminium" spelled wrong.

	@casey: American spelling. Looks funny every time I see it.

	A_is_for_Addict:	Mar 19th, 2009 at 22:03 GMT	6 points
	Aluminium should be acceptable though. Aluminum has only recently been accepted as an alternative spelling of Aluminium by IUPAC.

	What's vegetable ivory? (see comment from jessbowen)

	@sam and lilybert: flowers and/or fruit are acceptable for the for the 4th anniversary. Linen is acutally the wrong answer. It should be accepted as an alternative to silk for the 12th anniversary. @skel: you can give your wife the "modern" interpretations of the traditional anniversary gifts, at which point you give a clock on your 1st anniversary. Not necessarily glamorous, but not paper either...

	What about chocolates and roses lol!

	floyd4one:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 04:56 GMT	0 points
	actually if you look up the history of Aluminum you will see that that is the correct and original spelling. And regardless of what IUPAC uses, that is the historically right one to use.

	floyd4one:	Oct 23rd, 2009 at 05:02 GMT	0 points
	@A_is_for_Addict your statement is misleading since one can equally well say IUPAC recently accepted Aluminium as the spelling as well, the difference between the two being a mere 3 years.

	Steel? Really?

	@jessbowen and LaStic: Yeah what is vegetable ivory??

	sobdennis:	Jun 13th, 2010 at 21:57 GMT	2 points
	I always thought Diamond and platinum were traditional gifts. Maybe because not a lot of people are ever married 60 or 75 years.

	"Porcelain" should be accepted for china

	Happy anniversary, sweetie. Here's some paper.

	I knew pottery but had always heard it referred to as clay, with the assumption that it would be in the form of pottery, and not just a wet lump of it...

	they should have different ones for men. sandwich, x-box, lawnmower, etc.
