I'm sorry, but your answer of u for the trivia was incorrect. - 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!

Event! Your answer horseshoe u for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Enchanted Eagle Owl Feather and 10000sP [x] :'D I'm so happy! Thank you for the second chance. ^__^ And I got this one right too. :3

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.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I can't wait to pull apart the Christmas Cracker 8D

Your answer horseshoe u for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Enchanted Eagle Owl Feather and 10000sP. I got it right, yay! Research really does pay off. ^^ The bad luck streak has been broken...for now.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This one was so easy

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Whoo! I go the last one right. Pretty owl And yay, a nice easy one to rest my brain sigh

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

hugs wikipedia Thank you! 8D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

woo, i got the last one right, glad my research paid off.

also, be careful how you guys talk about the trivia on here...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's called an upside down omega ;-;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

yay, i like this one

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry Ryo If you wanna read it now after the fact, it's also under "near-close near-back vowel" there.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I put the actual symbol X) silly me

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

lol xD Off to get the new one

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Kewl new trivia. Poifect.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh how I love google and wikipedia.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I got it right.. seems so did quite a few others judging by all the feathers in trades.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Your answer upsilon for the tirvia was incorrect. sigh Now I am officially fed up with these off site trivias. I feel like I am being punished for not being stupid.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Your answer upsilon for the tirvia was incorrect.

Dang! I totally couldn't find it. Made me angry.

Oh, well, this one's in the bag already.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I got the last trivia right! Pure luck goes well with a few hours of googling!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I actually think I got it right! Now lets pray I didn't typo it lol.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This might be the easiset trivia in the history of trivias I have a chance of getting 10 right! XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'd really like to know how many got the last Trivia right. curious

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ooh, easy trivia. Got the last one right too. I'm on a roll!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Your answer horseshoe u for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Enchanted Eagle Owl Feather and 10000sP Whew! Now off to look at this one.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

o.o good thing I know her name.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Event! I'm sorry, but your answer of voiced labialized velar approximant for the trivia was incorrect.

[x]

o.o not surprised. Even if it looked exactly like a w. Should've done more research.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yaaay.

I'm not the worst linguistics major ever after all.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Event! I'm sorry, but your answer of upside down omega for the trivia was incorrect.

Grrrrr.... I spent an hour researching that...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ok, nevermind, a bit of research and I think I found the name.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I found the person, but no name as well.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Mouhaha, thank you for an awesome trivia! I loved researching! debates selling feather The new one is just too easy XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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".

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay I found this...
