Really? Word definitions don't change? Hmm.
I guess you shouldn't take any offense by being called GAY, then, right?
I think someone needs an enema and a prozac.Quote:

So the word "QUIZ" when being used to describe posing a question has not changed. Maybe you know some new ways to use the word "quiz" but I doubt it. And the definition stands, the word "quiz" can be used when asking a single question, it does not need to be more that 1 question.
i cant believe you guys are fighting over the fuckin word QUIZ!
Yeah I'm out of pot and really, really bored! Thats the only reason. Its funny, I have noticed I never post on message boards when I have weed. I just am never in the mood for it when I'm high. But when I run out I get so damn bored I sit around and argue abut really stupid shit like this... :(Quote:

But, this isn't about homos. It's about a definition. And it shouldn't be this complex.
When you say quiz, you mean 1 or more questions.
When I say quiz, I mean 3 or more questions.
We could leave it at that.
But damnit, I still want to convince you.
Imagine, if you will, you and your mom are sitting at the table. You are studying. Then, she says, "Hey. Want me to quiz you?". And you say, "Okay Mom!"
Then, she askes you one question.
Then she leaves.
Is that what you had in mind? No. Was I expecting one question when I opened this thread in the first place? Also no.
When you say quiz, you gotta keep in mind the millions and millions of other quizzes that were much more than one question. And when you bring out your measly, little, isolated question, you are letting down your public. And that ain't right.
And, there's nothing wrong with healthy debate. No matter how trivial.
Imagine going to school and having a pop "quiz". The Quiz consists of a single essay question. Itâ??s done all the time.
You loose!
Ok... car questions:::
A- How many aluminum block 427 Camaros were built in 1969? What was the engine code?
B- In 1970, the Corvette didn't get GM's best engine, the 454 LS6... what car was the only one to get it?
C- What companies have done serious research in Wankel engines? (ok, Mazda is obvious)
D- Who engineered the Chevy Corvette's ZR1 engine? (no, it wasn't Chevrolet, or GM)
E- What's the kick-ass car used in "Dazed and Confused"? It was the 1st musclecar...
F- How many rocker-arms did the Ford Flathead engine have?
