	This quiz attracts many FANBOYS.

	It was made before 30sec games were introduced.

	correct me if I'm wrong but 'or' is a disjunction not a conjunction

	hubbim:	Nov 18th, 2012 at 20:39 GMT		8 points
	okay, so in grammar 'or' is a conjunction (used to join other words - I was thinking of logic. Sorry about that! :-)

	Really surprised something as basic as this hadn't already been published.

	this is a tough one until you remember what a conjunction is.

	The fanboys are always my first guesses in the "figure out the lyrics" or "most common words in..." quizzes.

	If you know the answers before even clicking start and you're a fast typist, finishing without taking off more than 3 seconds is totally possible. I just tried a second time at max speed and finished with the clock still reading 0:58. Just making a point lol. No one cares how fast you can name conjunctions...

	Do Americans use this acronym to learn it? 30 seconds would have stumped me because it took about 15 for me to figure out exactly what this 'Fanboys' thing was about lol. But that's really quite clever.

	my teacher taught us BOYSFAN instead of FANBOYS

	chriskotx:	Nov 19th, 2012 at 00:10 GMT		-1 points
	I was trying "nonetheless" and "nevertheless" for "n" - and still don't know why they wouldn't qualify.

	object_holder:	Nov 19th, 2012 at 00:41 GMT		2 points
	@chriskotx: "nonetheless" and "nevertheless" have to appear in a new sentence. If you try to use them as conjunctions, you get a run-on sentence. (Example: "I ate a sandwich this morning, nevertheless I'm still hungry.") I'm not sure why "since" isn't a coordinating conjunction, though.

	I was also taught that since and because are conjunctions when learning FANBOYS.

	FANBOYS FANBOYS seven in a row, for and nor but or yet so!

	MaxMallanite:	Nov 19th, 2012 at 03:07 GMT		4 points
	Since and because are subordinating conjunctions. The quiz is on coordinating conjunctions. (Had to look them up, 'cause I wasn't sure myself)

	Sjsteacher6:	Nov 19th, 2012 at 03:54 GMT		-2 points
	While is considered a coordinating conjunction,

	Syzygy_314159:	Nov 19th, 2012 at 07:28 GMT		3 points
	@object_holder: You mean they have to appear in a new independent clause; nevertheless, the general point is correct.

	@kayla_nerd: Mine taught FAY SNOB. He was a really weird teacher.

	This pneumatic was new to me - pre-college schooling from '72-'84...

	@dc1011, you don't think it's possible to type these 7 words in 4 seconds?

	defineexistence:	Nov 19th, 2012 at 15:21 GMT		5 points
	@unkpoker: mnemonic

	Troy94:	Nov 19th, 2012 at 17:02 GMT		3 points
	@unkpoker: If it makes you feel any better I graduated from high school in 1989 and had never heard, read, or seen FANBOYS until I took this quiz.

	rockgolf:	Nov 19th, 2012 at 17:09 GMT		2 points
	@unpoker: ...and during that time no one told you the difference between pneumatic and mnemonic? "Mnemonic" has "mem" like memory. "Pneumatiic" has "pum" like pump.

	that little acronym FANBOY actually came in handy for once! lol

	And I thought I'd never need to know that. Silly me

	everyone correcting @unkpoker: I'm pretty sure he was making a joke, way to take the bait though.

	I prefer the acronym SOYBAFN.
