    Maybe this game would go better if there were fewer questions or complaints about people's choices. In the United States there are so many dialects that even in one state people say the same words and yet they are pronounced/ sound different.

    There, their and they're

    I find the debate quite interesting, though...and didnt look on it as complaining. Just interesting to realise that in some dialects certain words sound the same ...such as ant and aunt, whereas in others theyre totally different.
