	Congrats on your first publication, needapausebutton!

	TerryWilhelmer:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 04:28 GMT		5 points
	Water great quiz!

	gellchom:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 04:31 GMT		1 point
	Great quiz! I suggest you accept "rill" as well as "rain" for "r___."

	TerryWilhelmer:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 04:33 GMT		3 points
	Haha, nice bonus on igloo.

	Chocolatl:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 04:44 GMT		32 points
	I'm not sure about dam belongs here. A dam isn't water; it's something that restricts the flow of water.

	ari18:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 04:51 GMT		7 points
	I liked a lot of the creative ways to get at the idea of things made of water. As Chocolatl said, I wasn't sure about dam, but it wasn't too hard to get anyway. Likewise, some of the physical phenomena like "evaporation" or "vortex" are things that could pertain to any liquid, but it isn't too hard to get the connection.

	Oasis also fits in "o_ _ _ _".

	MarciniakUCF:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 05:56 GMT		7 points
	A few are a stretch, but great idea! 107/114, and I just ran out of time. They were slowly coming to me.

	Yabroff:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 06:24 GMT		4 points
	This just makes me thirsty...

	churchgeek:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 06:47 GMT		13 points
	No "strait"? (I'm from Detroit, that comes to mind pretty quickly when I think of water!)

	smartster:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 07:10 GMT		9 points
	Let's not forget the bodily forms: sweat, urine, saliva, tears, etc. and all the variations of these.

	hbaker:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 07:15 GMT		5 points
	Wow. I guess I never thought about how permeated our language is with references to water. While taking this quiz, I thought of about a dozen more that weren't even included. Great quiz!

	kcostell:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 08:00 GMT		2 points
	@TerryWilhelmer: Indeed, and it flows very nicely!

	Michelle100:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 08:45 GMT		16 points
	Many of these are not descriptions of water at all, but of things which may or may not have water in them eg fountain, canal, dam. A thunderstorm doesn't even need to have rain, and a cataclysm is more usually applied to things like earthquakes. Suggest some pruning to make it better.

	Ulkomaalainen:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 09:29 GMT		18 points
	Cumulolingus... someone was mixing up his wet vocabulary here... blush

	WeaselKing1000:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 09:42 GMT		1 point
	This is great, a really 'refreshing' quiz! Thanks for accepting 'crest' for 'cre_ _', but perhaps 'spindrift' could be accepted for 's_ _ _dr_ _t'? :)

	Jam1:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 09:46 GMT		6 points
	Please accept the UK spelling of "vapour"

	redsxfenway:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 10:07 GMT		17 points
	@Jam1: it wouldn't fit with the clue. I saw pu_ _le and I couldn't stop thinking of purple (as in rain).

Comment below threshold: show it

	poiutrewq:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 10:46 GMT		5 points
	@Gillmacs: yes it is, it's water droplets in the atmosphere reflecting the sun's rays

	ddpBANG:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 11:40 GMT		19 points
	No "wake" for wa_e?

	koopa08:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 12:23 GMT		-1 points
	What about bight, aquifer, strait, mud, mudslide, promontory, cape, and the other types of clouds that weren't on the list? You list loch but not ness (a ness is also a body of water). I enjoyed the quiz very much.

	shakirafan:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 12:28 GMT		2 points
	Here's some more for you: swamp, slough, bog, marsh, rill and backwater!

	ChileNoseJam:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 12:54 GMT		15 points
	I don't think the author claimed it to be a comprehensive list of forms of water/things with water in them - of course there are others.

	razorz:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 13:00 GMT		6 points
	Sporcle, please send me a royalty check for the avatar use! ;)

	cowboysmith:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 13:04 GMT		4 points
	A waterspout is a tornado made out of water. Perhaps add that?

	Waterice_Man:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 13:20 GMT		3 points
	American spellings, it seems...

	needapausebutton:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 14:20 GMT		2 points
	Wow, thanks everyone for your comments, and Sporcle for publishing this. I'm gonna break up a couple of responses into a couple of groups so I don't make you read a big clunky post. So...

	needapausebutton:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 14:23 GMT		2 points
	I want to do a few tweaks but, according to Sporcle, the game is now "locked" and can only be edited by Sporcle Admin. Anyway, if you go back to the archived comments, I DO appreciate all of the suggestions of terms to add, about 90% of them were in my original version of the game, which I trimmed down from about 200 terms to the current 114!

	needapausebutton:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 14:32 GMT		14 points
	Regarding comments about terms which some of you think are "not really water," I understand where you are coming from because of the most common usage of some of them. However, every term was carefully researched, and the terms used also can refer to the water body or form itself. I'll just give one example here -- for the word "Dam" (Collins English Dictionary) First listed Definition: 1) a barrier of concrete, earth, etc, built across a river to create a body of water.... 2) a reservoir of water created by such a barrier. So, please bring on the "dam_" puns
