5K: They probably don't mean "Nothing Compares 2 U", Prince covered by Sinead O'Connor, do they.

ATA

5K: They probably don't mean "Nothing Compares 2 U", Prince covered by Sinead O'Connor, do theu.

ATA

Sure they do. She is one of the 3 wrong answers. I didn't recognize the Lisa Loeb song right away, but I knew that A is Alanis Morissette, C is Sinead O'Connor and D is Britney Spears. Thus, Lisa Loeb is the only one with 2 of the same letter in her monogram.

When this transcript 1st came up, all I saw was "Nothing Compares". Am I going blind, or was it fixed w/o being logged as such? If I do fixes to my posts fast enough, they don't get logged.

I possibly could have gotten the Spears song. I'd heard the Morrissette, but it just didn't register. And I've never heard the Loeb. I'd still have ATA'd.

I had to put special characters (em spaces) between choices C & D. Otherwise (on my laptop) it would look like "C: Nothing Compares 2 U D: ..." The special characters may not have been displayed right on your tablet.

It's not the speed that matters (directly). One can edit their own post as many times as they like (without the "last edited by" line being added by the Bored server) UNTIL someone posts something new into the thread in question.

That is, edited posts do not get marked as edited by the system while they are the last post in the thread.
