	Nice quiz, though I would have liked a bit more time.

	rockgolf:	Jan 26th, 2013 at 06:45 GMT		2 points
	You got it!

	JoeBeta:	Jan 26th, 2013 at 09:15 GMT		5 points
	I think 15 minutes is enough time now. My brain hit a wall at around 14 minutes. I kept typing in incorrect words over and over in disbelief that they weren't there - priority, criminal, whomever. Funnily the word turned out to be whatever :/

	rockgolf:	Jan 26th, 2013 at 23:55 GMT		1 point
	Neat what the last entry in the top 1000 is.

	fastplanet:	Jan 27th, 2013 at 03:39 GMT		2 points
	That was very co****ng.

	maverickjoe:	Jan 27th, 2013 at 08:55 GMT		5 points
	You can tell this was drawn from a written corpus; if it were drawn from speech, #463 and #817 would (#463) be at the top of the list.

	strags11:	Jan 27th, 2013 at 19:49 GMT		0 points
	@rg, because it's drawn from words in prose, this list is pretty skewed compared to the overall list of most common English words (see link). Maybe it would be a little better, particularly for Sporclers whose first language isn't English, to use the more general list? Either way, great idea for a quiz. http://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/common-words-5000.htm

	rockgolf:	Jan 28th, 2013 at 00:38 GMT		3 points
	@strags: That is just a horribly inaccurate list and should never ever be referred to as a legitimate source for Sporcle. Just among words starting with "A" there are over 40 words listed at least twice. "Average" is #1311, appears again at #1459, and a third time at #3684. Even worse, "As" is not only word #34, it is also #50 and #130 - seriously, the same word 3 times in the top 150? The words "o'clock", "no", "like" and "lot" each appears on this list 5 times!!! Amateur and careless.

	I was surprised "computer" didn't make it.

	rockgolf:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 11:11 GMT		2 points
	@kansas: It just missed. It was #1146.

	strags11:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 22:12 GMT		1 point
	Yikes! Sorry, @rg -- I should have looked closer at the word list. I'm still stunned that "tomorrow" isn't in the top 100 of either one.

	Sneuticles:	Jan 30th, 2013 at 20:23 GMT		2 points
	Awesome idea. Nominated. STUNNED 'computer' wasnt in there. Stunned, I tell you.

	wondernick:	Feb 1st, 2013 at 14:34 GMT		0 points
	this is one of those quizzes that i look at, think OMG that looks so boring, then find myself scratching my head after 10 minutes trying to at least get 50% of them right! what has sporcle done to me?!

	Psycho_Path:	Feb 13th, 2013 at 02:25 GMT		1 point
	Obsessed I objected to this approved list before I promptly realized the monument of such a quiz is criminal as with no priority I repeated the 8 letter words I've used in this text to no avail

	TheCleverone:	Mar 11th, 2013 at 20:33 GMT		1 point
	Rockgolf - one of my favourite 8-letter words, along with sproutcm, druhutch and gwukelic (sorry to all the 8-letter Sporcle users I've missed)
