You're exactly right! I see the problem now.

That's really fun. I play a lot of word games online and I will be adding yours to my daily regimen. Clever use of sound too. I may want to turn it off at times but for now at least I'm leaving it on.

> They don't make battery electric cars.

They've been selling partial-electric cars since at least 2014. The Prius Prime allows for electric-only driving up to about 30 miles per charge. That's enough for my commute. I got 3500 miles on my first tank of gas.

I'm having trouble getting past the first sentence: "The problems of Intelligence are, together, the greatest problem in science and technology today."

Very nice. I've run a marginally similar site for a few years that I had just decided to sunset (http://randombracket.com). Too much work for about four days of usage :)

I'm glad I have your site to use now.

Where will the contest take place?

You're right, nobody has ever said that. I hope that's the point. I hope the end goal is that people will say that occasionally.

I never even glance at the comments on certain sites (e.g. YouTube, Yahoo Sports) because I know they are going to be awful. I do read comments on other sites (e.g. Deadspin, AVClub) because they often add to the story and are also often hilarious.

Strange that the Pharo home page doesn't explain what Pharo does. I'm not familiar with Pharo and after scrutinizing the Pharo home page I'm still don't have a clue what it does.

I see a lot of mentions of Smalltalk on this page yet 'Smalltalk' doesn't appear on the Pharo home page.

Am I missing something? If I'm not already familiar with Pharo, am I simply not part of the intended audience?
