    Ok. Since there are alot of late entries, I am pushing back the start of the contest till 7am tomorrow morning.

    Or should I just start it Monday to give more people time to enter??

    More of you should post on weekends. It would greatly help out those of us who are bored and have no lives, don't want to do useful stuff either, and keep hitting reload on the BBS. Hey, since he keeps giving them extensions (he should teach here, our students would love that :) ), you can even get those last few spelling mistakes out of your system this weekend.

    Is there a minimum post number requirement?

    If not, I'd like to join.

    I'm not in...

    I'll be gone most of April and having to check spelling all the time gets in the way of my righteous anger and takes away from the fun of posting.

    Do I still get to slam spelling miscreants?

    Whoops, sorry. Totally forgot about this.

    Game officially starts 7am Monday morning.

    Anyone can join in on the game. But once the game comes down to the final 3 or 4 participants, I would consider anyone that hasn't posted during that time period to be disqualified.

    Should we start killing the people who haven't updated their signature yet?

    Unless I'm missing something, I don't see how that's wrong. It is a contraction for "want" and "is" . I wouldn't use it, and I'm sure linguists frown upon something like that, but it's not wrong, is it?

    I don't think a contraction for "want+is" exists; unlike how's = "how + is"
