Check, check, and check. I'll take care of all three later tonight B. They won't be included in the current revision, so it might take some time for you to see 'em in there, but they'll be in there for February at the very least. Thanks!

Doom, ive been marking questions with .wrong but i see that does nothing now, should i just get a list of wrong questions and periodically (like weekly or so) PM them to you?
and also, you should remove all the made up statistic questions (14% of couples like anal sex), questions which are open ended or have multiple answers "_____ is a prime number"
and another thing which would be hard to do but should be thought about would be standardizing the grammar of the questions (american standard grammar?) as there are instances of both american and british, though i understand this would probably be hard to do unless you could just search and replace, anyway just something to think about

Yeah Led, if you want to PM them to me, I'll see what I can do...if I remember to send the updated file to Chal and G at the end of the month, the corrections will appear in September.
As far as your suggestions, I've got nothing against removing bogus statistics questions, and I did try standardizing grammar once upon a time, but there's just so much in terms of British/American in there that it would have taken forever, so I just fixed the ones I saw. But sure, PM mistakes away.

k, ill also try to send you the ones on which to standardize the grammar, (no i wont make a fuss over ending sentences in prepositions :-D) and ill also try to mark ones which have multiple correct answers, as those probably annoy me more than anything

Doom, I talked about this a bit with whot the other day, and I think it would be a good idea to make .wrong log wrong questions to a separate text file so we, as upstanding triviahosters, will not be compelled to manually type out stuff from the starcraft chat screen, since that tends to be a pain in the ass. And then occasionally you can just fix all the q's in that text file, instead of having to aggregate a bunch of forum posts and PMs.

This could be implemented when we fix the bots first
