	I failed when I saw CAR, and put it down before reading the rest of the line. What is CAR short for? Central African Republic?

	I think the ideas of using typos is stupid, that doesn't make them random words, it makes them a random collection of letters, but hey, thats just me.

	smekeldorfed:	May 7th, 2011 at 19:56 GMT		71 points
	Personally, I think that this quiz would be more successful if you used places that a lot of people actually think are countries (Holland, Hong Kong, Bermuda, Scotland) rather than cities or misspellings.

	I'm guessing the game was changed since it first launched, but it looks like you made food appropriate changes! I too wish for 15 second intervals or something. Good quiz, quite interesting!

	trying to translate these "words" into typing threw me off trying to go fast

	Chocolatl:	May 8th, 2011 at 04:16 GMT		10 points
	I agree with smekeldorfed. This would be a brilliant quiz if all the choices were places that people mistake for independent countries(Macau, Aruba, etc.).

	For anybody who isn't a moron this is a typing race. Making us type American Samoa. And Sheep. Really. That's the best you could do.

	Cute idea, poor execution. I'd like to see more that involve places people actually may think are countries, rather than cities or random nouns.

	if someone gets any of these wrong they should be permanently banished from sporcle

	Sadly, the ones with capital cities gave me pause. I had to look at the Tokyo one for awhile before I'm like... >_

	Scotland is a country, albeit not an independent one. And Holland is most definitely not a country, it's merely a province within the Netherlands (indeed one of the Netherlands, if you will), although it is commonly casually used to refer to the country as a whole

	@Sheldon, Misspelled should be spelled m-i-s-s-p-e-l-l-e-d :)

	Neat idea. I too felt like there could be a little more time. Also, when you use Oman twice, it's obvious that it's not one of the answers.

	To confuse people further, Hamilton is a city in New Zealand. Check out my New Zealand cities quiz.!!!

	Whoever on the comments said Holland isn't a country, its widely considered synonymous with the Netherlands, even though technically its also the anme of the western portion. Holland is recognized as synonymous
