I was wondering if in this last outage something has happened to the case sensitivity of answers. I just received a correction notice saying that hotel california should be accepted when the correct answer I have is Hotel California.

I think I may have answered my own question. I tried doing my quiz and put in hotel california and it's accepting it as a correct answer. So I think a mistyped word was used.

Moot question then. But this has happened to me and I blush at the memory that I once sent Cris a suggestion that the word Dalmation hadn't been accepted. What's wrong with this picture?
I often got correction notices from people (with clues as to the problem) for the case sensitivity, but checked it out and it was almost always the case that the word was mispelled (mispelt).

Hmm, I think what's wrong with the picture is that it's "Dalmatian"

Cris! I wanted to see if he would get it! Because it took me a minute to see that and I'm not the worst speller on the face of the Earth.

Quizzyland is not case-sensitive. Or shouldn't be.

But that doesn't mean we're not sensitive to your case!
