The xkcd survey

Yes I think there were fakes there - and we will have hilarious results showing people saying they knew, in a cromulent way, what a fake word meant!

I see what you did there.

I only knew a bit less than half the words too. A couple I thought I knew, then reread and realized they were simply close to words I knew.

I'm wondering if anybody didn't.

I started to, then decided to actually do five random words.

Anticoagulant, consinguinious, filigree, cosplay, matrimony


I had a hard time thinking of a popular food I didn't like, so I went with a drink. Beer.
 
The food was easy for me, I don't really like tomatoes.

Mainly did the survey to see what he would come up with.
 
Actually the survey turned out to be more fun than I expected. I was sitting in a cafe with friends completing the survey on my phone and we had some laughs when I started asking them things like, "What colour would you say these walls are?".

Did you have problems entering text? When I clicked 'Done' on the OS keypad it submitted the entire survey rather than taking me back to the form.

No, no problems that I recall. I was using Swiftkey on an iPhone so maybe that helped, I don't know.

Done. Not as entertaining as I was expecting.

My smarty pants response:

Name the first five animals you can think of

Mojo (Cat)
Jazz (Dog)
Clarence (Lion)
Shorty (Giraffe)
Piccolo (Elephant)
 
Ranch dressing. The most popular food that I consider not fit for human consumption.

Since most of the people taking the survey know about how nearly everyone thinks they're above-average drivers, I wonder if the survey will show predominantly below-average drivers instead.
