I'm aware of the differentiation Creedy, but when I went through my education degree, it wasn't used "in the vernacular". Over here, if you say that word (quickly or otherwise), people usually think you're talking about some sort of dessert ~
I usually refrain from telling them they have the wrong word, simply because it's more amusing for everyone that way. And (shrugs) nobody really likes a pedantic showoff in social situations anyway lol.

Hehehe! That tongue twister should come with a health warning for anyone wearing false teeth. Duck, or else you may get hit by a projectile object, lol!

Well you just never know in Australia, Jakeroo. Here your name has a different meaning entirely as well, pedantic showoff or not.

Phonetically speaking, that is.

Quite right Creedy. A jake can be a term for an "outhouse" (rustic toilet lol). And a jackaroo/jackeroo here would be called a greenhorn/tenderfoot or a lazy so-and-so or a screwup or something else that can't be mentioned here LOL. But jake and "jack" don't really sound the same. Besides, I was calling me pedantic in the hypothetical situation above, not you : )))
Anyway, Happy Canada Day to all my "neighbours". Looking forward to the next Sprint task.

You and me both! I feel we're entering the final stretch... Let's hope they are not TOO horrible. :)

Round 9 provisional standings are up at http://www.krath.org/sprint-09.png and some sprinters' games have been vastly affected by minor disasters.
Kyle's clue has sent several authors for a second round and thus various delays due to a misreading (Christinap and WesleyCrusher both jumping from well under a day to 4 days 7 hours and 2 days 10 hours respectively) and the 4-day limit has also struck twice (highlighted in red), although MikeMaster hasn't lost much as he was already over 6 days, but George's score took a pretty heavy hit.
The race leaders:
rossian leads Single Normal at 19 hours 0 minutes.
Malik24 leads Single Hardcore at 20 hours 20 minutes.
Lones78 and zorba_scank lead Pair Normal at 16 hours 17 minutes.
Three sprinters are still on zero Rvsn: looney_tunes, MikeMaster99 and Tiffanyram.

Firefox won't open the page, so I will look at it later on my iPad, which I know does recognize Krath.
I'm curious as to my standing...
In my mind, I'm still beating Rossian for best score. :P

Ours has been resubmitted, and I think it will fly well now. Fingers crossed!

Your mind is a strange place, Salami! I can't open the table either (nor the earlier ones) so assume the problem is with krath.

I was able to access it from my iPhone. I didn't try on the computer.

krath.org is my own server here in Germany - it may occasionally be that you can't access it (although I had no problems accessing the net today)
