Subject: Please help me with categories

Posted by: SunnySnake

Hello all,
I want to make a quiz about eyeglasses, but I'm not sure what category and subcategory to put it in. Can you please give me some advice about it? Thanks!

It depends on the types of questions you wish to ask. If it's more technical, perhaps Sci/Tech. If it takes a more historical bent, maybe 'Specialized History'. If it's mixed trivia about eyeglasses (who wears them, etc.), maybe Thematic Fun in General.

It's reliant on the lens through which you decide to look. ;)

Kyle, stop making a spectacle of yourself.

I like being the focal point.

PS-- I knew that this would become a thread of puns in the blink of an eye.

It might also fit in Entertainment (Beauty Accessories and Fashion), if you want to focus on them in that way.

Entertainment has always been a bit of a blur to me.

I've just thought - you could try reading glasses in Literature.

Maybe you could do a quiz on famous bespectacled figures. That lens itself to the People category.

Ahh, look at all my punning pupils. Good to see we haven't lost our frame of reference.

I agree, this thread is a sight for sore eyes. (And there are actually some useful suggestions buried under the puns.)

I'm going to turn a blind eye to all the previous nonsense, and refer you back to Kyle's first paragraph.

All right, thanks, guys! It's going to be info about eyeglasses (nearsightedness, farsightedness, history of glasses) so I think I'll put it into Thematic Fun. Thanks for all your help! You've opened my eyes to the types of categories.

And if it turns out not to be suitable for Thematic Fun, whoever edits it will make helpful suggestions of where to put it, or how to fix it so it will be suitable and you can decide what to do with it. The editors are very helpful with things like that :D
Sounds like it will be an interesting quiz when it's done :D

I might need another kind of glasses in a moment - I'm thirsty.

Drink some lemonade. It always helps quench thirst. Say, do any of you wear glasses?

Along the same line, does anybody have any suggestions as to what category I should submit a quiz on bullfighting? I have been advised it is not a sport and I don't know where to put it. Can anyone see the proper place for this quiz, with or without glasses. It is quite a spectacle :)

My educated guess would be World maybe in Culture somewhere?

National Pastimes?

I wear glasses. I recently went back to two pairs rather than bifocals because I need so many prisms. It is not easy, but at least I can use both eyes at the same time now.

Reading and distance, need one to find the other. Have backup pairs, but current ones are not strong enough (eye dr. said that was as much as they could do). Tried bifocals, not good for me, causes dizziness. When I was a myopic little kid we found one 'doctor' who envisioned a world without glasses, if only one did the proper exercizes. Well, one did, and it made no difference whatever, so one has been wearing glasses/briefly contacts/had radial keratotomy since 7 years old. That doc just didn't get the big picture. I 'see' a time in future when there will be a parts store for body parts that are just worn out. Of course for major organs, one would have to have consults, fittings etc. Can imagine the added insurance premiums for that!
