"She could be a real brat about it, too."

N.B. A friend of mine just called me a "CHEATER!!", because I verified the result with babelfish. I'm a mite confused about that. It's not like feeding babelfish the line "And she can be one true censures the young child regarding this, also is." is really helping me one jot, is it??

The way it works, is that you have to know the anser first, so you can feed the original line to babelfish, before babelfish is of actual use to you. So, how does me knowing the answer upfront make me a cheat?? In fact, I've always considered a politeness to double-check on what you think is the answer. If misunderstood the nature of the game, then I'm truly sorry, and I'll go back to just posting guesses.

Thanks for sayin'.

In the beginning of this thread, I thought it was even more or less implied that you verified your answer (which is actually quite a cumbersome procedure). Cuz I believe DesktopHippe set it up in such a way that you needed to supply the correct answer, and then immedialy post a new one. I even got into trouble a mite for having the audacity to wait for confirmation. :) Things got a little more loose during the game; and now I just usually blur out an answer if I think I know it. But for the last one, for instance, I tend to double-check. After all, a wrong answer, apart from being embarrassing, also tends to muck things up, as other people already start posting new ones, whereas the old one has not been properly answered yet.

As for shooting scripts, or any online script, I agree there, too. If you know the answer, and are just looking to get the phrasing right, I see no harm in that, either (well, actually I do, lol, in that the wording in shooting scripts has an insidious way of being slightly different from what was aired; but that's another matter).
