You do not score points for voting for your own "definition". Chatter is encouraged. These rules seem to promote chattering in support of your own definition to get more people to vote for it. It would look disingenuous if you argued for your own definition and didn't have your vote on it, but the only way to have your vote score points is if it's on the correct definition at the deadline. Now how would one go about handling that conundrum if you wanted both to get as many points as possible both from swaying people to vote for your definition and also have a chance to guess at the right definition? 1.

araver Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Voting for 8. It can't be one of those with "of" since I've seen enough abbrev. With lowercase o in them eg School of Magic is SoM. And I'd rather not bandwagon so please don't choose the same as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logophobic Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Your logic is flawed. While many acronyms do use the lowercase o for of, there are plenty that don't. I vote for #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana77 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Plenty of abbrev do drop lower case words. UCLA for instance, is not UoCaLA, it is UCLA. I am torn between 1 and 2. But I vote 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nana77 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 When I saw 8 I misread "buries" as "bunnies" and thought an avalanche sent a bunch of bunnies to kill school children. And then I remembered Anya singing "bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
