Originally posted by Faith No MoreYes, that's exactly correct. I listed The Iliad and The Odyssey for books earlier. They start with I and O respectively, not T. You're opening a big can of worms here if you include "the" as the starting letter. You're going to have to verify that titles do or do not have "the" in them, like The Grapes of Wrath.
sorry, alphabetical listings dont matter.
from what you are saying under C i can write 'cat in the hat'?
this round goes to wib, you are still in the lead though🙂
Give the round to wib, I don't care, but you shouldn't count "the" in the future.

Originally posted by rwingettmaybe your right, but if so it can be only in movies and books.

ok, THE is allowed.
Originally posted by rwingettI agree with rwingett. I guess we should decide whether to keep "the" or not for titles. I almost posted "The Red Badge of Courage" for R. Instead I posted a silly obscure book that my wife read and I honestly never have.

It really doesn't matter to me either. I say we call the last round a draw. :-) How about a half-point. I mean since this is a chess site and all.

It really do ...[text shortened]... out a half-point. I mean since this is a chess site and all.
which puts rwingett in first place with 4 points
wib and kw72uk right behind him with 3 points
latex bishop and bbar with 1 point each.
Originally posted by Faith No MoreWhat are you talking about? I'm still here. I just didn't compete in the R round due to confusion over "the". Start the next round.
I think that wib is the only one playing now, so there is no point in me continuing until there are at least 2 more players.
If you are participating let me know, because there is no point to for wib to play against himself...
