	Democratic Republic of the Congo?

	jdmerkel:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:27 GMT	1 point
	@J66 : I was shocked that isn't on there either.

	jism:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:31 GMT	28 points
	It's spelt Dalmatian. Not Dalmation.

	sammyhain2364:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:31 GMT	11 points
	It should be spelled dalmatian

	Democratic Republic of the Congo should be on here. And who is Dunder? I think that is supposed to be Donner. Otherwise good quiz and looking forward to the E quiz. Maybe you can have some blend together, like Qu quiz or the XYZ quiz.

	swellwrench:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:34 GMT	8 points
	"Dnepr" and "Dnestr" should be accepted for "Dnieper" and "Dniester" - those are the Russian names and were, until recently, the most common spellings in English as well.

	Geo: Your first two points are correct, but I'm pretty sure there are enough X, Y, and Z words that they can be independent of one another.

	vyuen:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	11 points
	And isn't the reindeer spelled Donner?

	Jaspers:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	81 points
	Comet and Cupid and Dunder and Mifflin?

	Dunder is actually what Donner is called in the first known version. It means Thunder.

	springmom:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:42 GMT	3 points
	Please, please change Dalmatian! It's right on the dog breeds quiz.

	vyuen:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:44 GMT	5 points
	What language is Dunder? In modern German, Thunder is Donner.

	Shaft41:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:45 GMT	11 points
	I have a "D" word that describes how I feel now: dumb.

	sactoshc:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:50 GMT	9 points
	15 of 36 the first time out...I love this theme! Are we going to get one for every letter of the alphabet eventually? Definitely a deliciously distracting diversion.

	jism:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:52 GMT	5 points
	Dunder is Dutch. And German for Thunder used to be Donder many years ago.

	kingofdanger:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:54 GMT	0 points
	I think it's lame that we have to type out "Democratic Republic of the Congo" on every country quiz, but it doesn't count here.

	rophlare:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:56 GMT	1 point
	You should definitely put Democratic People's Republic of Korea as a bonus -- that's the official name of North Korea.

	MRL:	May 28th, 2009 at 04:58 GMT	9 points
	For those wondering about the third reindeer, see the comments in the Santa's Reindeer quiz. In the original poem, it was Dunder; later translations and mispronunciations brought about Donder and Donner as variations. Similarly, Blitzen was originally Blixem.

	johnlk:	May 28th, 2009 at 05:08 GMT	1 point
	Dalmation? Seriously?

	SporcleAdmin:	May 28th, 2009 at 05:13 GMT	32 points
	Our apologies to the people of the DRC and spotted dogs everywhere. These have been corrected.

	bdon:	May 28th, 2009 at 05:42 GMT	-4 points
	Only 16 right, but I got a bonus answer that hasn't been mentioned and I'm drunk. I'm awesome. And the bonus is the Don so I'm not BSing

	Love these quizzes. I should've known the Oscar winners but otherwise I don't feel bad about the ones I missed.

	Kevin:	May 28th, 2009 at 06:02 GMT	1 point
	Does the DRC have a common name, though (beyond those initials)? I think Sporcle takes common names pretty universally.

	Converge:	May 28th, 2009 at 06:46 GMT	4 points
	Every time I type in "DRC," it works on any quiz. And, Kevin, no it doesn't, unless you count "DR Congo."

	Niques:	May 28th, 2009 at 06:46 GMT	-2 points
	The DRC is alphabetically first on the list, not last. I thought the German was Donder? Was a bit disappointed to not see World Capitals, but fun quiz. I love these letter games.

	Iridium:	May 28th, 2009 at 06:51 GMT	1 point
	I swear, I had a vision we'd get a D game today while doing the Periodic Table a few hours ago.

	lil_lemur:	May 28th, 2009 at 07:31 GMT	0 points
	ok, so i can't spell Dachshund and i can't spell Djibouti, but i got everything else that i shoudl have

	If DRC counts than surely Democratic People's Republic of Korea should at least merit a bonus?

	Uhlan:	May 28th, 2009 at 08:49 GMT	15 points
	DPRK is possibly the most misleading name ever. It is not democratic, it is not ruled in the interests of the people, most of whom are starving, the 'Dear Leader' has monarchial powers which were inherited and he will probably pass to his son, and it only covers half of Korea. Other than that, add it as a bonus.

	Distiller:	May 28th, 2009 at 08:59 GMT	5 points
	Not as good as the previous ones.

	iceman1731:	May 28th, 2009 at 09:16 GMT	-1 points
	@geoexpert, theres already an XYZ country quiz

	brownowl:	May 28th, 2009 at 09:23 GMT	1 point
	Most difficult letter quiz so far - as a chemist I should have got at least one of the elements, oops! Also I only managed to spell Dachshund because it was on another quiz recently, thankfully that saved me a bit of time!

	cocky:	May 28th, 2009 at 10:17 GMT	12 points
	I'll bet that last river gets a lot of hits from people trying Donner for the reindeer.

	Dutch:	May 28th, 2009 at 10:36 GMT	4 points
	An interesting bonus for the D elements might be deuterium

	JoeGrzzly:	May 28th, 2009 at 10:42 GMT	4 points
	Seems not many people passed this quiz with a D.
