A new trivia question has been added!

User not found: @

I'm sorry, but your answer of u for the trivia was incorrect. <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0> - I didn't think the addition of 'horseshoe' was what she wanted - i felt it best to keep it simple - meh - win some, lose some.
WTG! to all those who got it right though!

blaGue @

You know Moonsyne, that was my exact problem, I even ended up mailing Debi about it...then today I realized that the symbol can still have a name, even if it isn't named by the IPA for phonics. The (IPA) may have only been there to clarify how to find the symbol we were looking for, the actual symbol itself is still a letter in the Greek or Latin alphabet, and that name is upsilon, about as official or formal, I guess, as you know, alpha, beta, etc. What I'm saying is, and this threw me for a loop too, is that probably the question wasn't asking for what wasn't the IPA's formal name, but the informal name for that symbol, separately.

0

Moonsyne @

Since IPA has no formal names for the symbols used, wouldn't ALL names for it be informal?

0

adakie @

The answer wasn't either of the ones I found listed. Man. X Guess there were just way too many informal names for that letter. *goes back to begging someone to trade for the rune book*

0

BloodlustMagician @

Dragons_rock, it was called a lowercased Upsilon formally, horseshoe u informally. Omega is an entirely different Greek letter.

I got it right. X3 Thank you dad for explaining the question to your confused daughter. XD

Crysti @

I'm sorry Ryo <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0> If you wanna read it now after the fact, it's also under "near-close near-back vowel" there.

I'm sorry, but your answer of lax close back rounded for the trivia was incorrect

lol xD Off to get the new one<img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif border=0>

0

BloodlustMagician @

Crysti, I actually tried doing that, but, I don't think my computer likes foreign letters, so any time I copied and pasted the symbol... all I got was a box.

prince @

I found it but how do i know the name of the person?

Happy Hallneweasterankahatricks Day! (Translation: Happy Halloween, New Years, Easter, Hanukah, St. Patricks Day!) XD But no Christmas was involved... MERRY CHRISTMAS! ^^

Lilysparkle @

The redraw of the person holding the pretty pink package is really nice. I set it as my computer wallpaper for today. ^^

0

Crysti @

Upsilon is what it is called (small Latin letter upsilon-from wikipedia) but is not the informal name. In Wikipedia by searching with the actual symbol (copy and paste works well), you would see it's informal name is horseshoe u. Yay, I knew this one without even looking <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif border=0>

0

Moonsyne @

I got my answer the good old fashioned way. Out tof the front of my pocket dictionary. I then confirmed it to be correct on wikipedia. Upsilon participated as the second element in all falling diphthongs.

0

Kricket @

well, I got as far as "voiced labialized velar approximant" and couldn't find the horseshoe u. So, I decided on the actual informal of W and put in Dub. as in Dubya or C Dub etc etc.

Ooops LOL

User not found: @

Awe man, I got the trivia wrong. Oh well.

0

Andromeda_846 @

I just guessed plain old "u" because I didn't know what they meant by IPA. Ah, well. I didn't really want the owl, anyway. I just wanted to sell it.

0

BloodlustMagician @

Misty, I thought it would be Omega too, but, that's not the Omega symbol. The Omega symbol is a complete 180 of the "horseshoe u".

0

BloodlustMagician @

Oh man... it was horseshoe u? lol I don't know why, but I was thinking it was something like horseshoe... it even crossed through my mind, but it never occured that'd be the answer. That's just funny.

User not found: @

Even if they've found the picture it's still the same as giving out answers if you tell them were to find the name.

0

User not found: @

Oops, I didn't capitalize the name. Will I get it wrong because of that?
And would it be cheating to tell people how to find the name when they've already found the picture?

0

_Mara_Jade_ @

does capitalaztion matter?

cause I hope not.

0

Shadow @

I put u instead of horseshoe u *doh* xD it's ok as I already have the feather. This trivia however is eaaaaaaasy by comparison xD

I'm Austrian and didn't have any probs with any of the much debated trivias lately.
And this one is an eeeaaasy peasy once more, but I'm dead sure people will come up with rants again!

0

User not found: @

horseshoe u? I guessed upsilon as well since I looked it up and that's what I read the name of that character is. I guess it just depends on what site you try and look on and what they refer to it as? lame <img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0>

Eh, it wasn't *that* hard. Just go to dictionary.com, type in owl, get the IPA pronunciation, Google the symbol/search it on Wiki, and you're good to go.

Ariel @

Oh nice, 10k XD

0

MamaBear @

Ryndarwen, you were close. I found that as well, but since they wanted what it was actually called, placing that in a search by itself would have brought you to the actual answer. Trust me, I'm not trying to say it was easy...I spent hours trying to get it, and English is my native tongue.

0

Tydreih @

If you search for the phonetic upsilon sign thingy (&#650<img src=http://www.subetax.org/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif border=0> on wikipedia and read the intro, it literally says it's informally know as the 'horseshoe u' ^^ I got it right too, yay~

...now I have absolutely no clue what the answer is to this new trivia. XP I guess I gotta do some looking around...
