Actually the award goes to you. Your the one that is nitpicking, implying there is something wrong with his comment (and you wouldnt get that reward if it was your first time, but you put it on nearly every quiz, that would be nitpicking to me, making a big deal out of simple remarks of people, over and over, without any good reason)
He didnt demand the displayed answer to be changed or that quizmaster is so wrong. He simply requested something to be accepted, and not even an obscure alternate answer, like "well there is this little village where that doesnt apply, eventhough it is the case for the rest of the world technically it is not correct.
It's actually a fault with the quiz that it won't accept the grammatically-correct form that everyone uses, and only accepts it if you miss out the 'a'.
I believe that "I believe that were grammatically appropriate" isn't too hot either.
You could also just think of the article coming before "half", e.g. "a half dollar", "a half dozen", thereby eliminating it from your response to what comes after "half".
You could also just stop being silly and go for the answer.
I've only ever heard it as 'six of one, half a dozen of the other', and the quiz didn't accept that. 'Half dozen' doesn't even sound grammatically correct.
I've heard of Yosemite, but you gotta remember: America DOESNT = the World. Should I be expecting you to guess the name of an obscure Australian item just because it's the picture of a jetpunk quiz?
You mean, Uluru AKA Ayers Rock? Yeah, I think that's reasonable. Half Dome is an iconic natural landmark in Yosemite, arguably the US's most famous national park. Its strange shape makes it very recognizable and is a mecca in the sport of rock climbing. If that doesn't sway you, here's the Australian "60 Minutes" airing a feature cover story on Alex Honnold free soloing Half Dome. All that said, if you don't like something, rate the quiz and make a better one if you're so certain about what does and doesn't belong.
A lot of people aren't from the USA you know. I could show you a random landmark from my country, and I guess you'd never know what it is.
I'm more surprised that centrehalf isn't accepted for football position (or make it more clear that it's the US version called football and not the rest of the world version called football. Also: 50 cents is half a euro.
I don't think the Super Bowl is the only sporting event to have a half time. In fact, every single American football, football (soccer), rugby union, rugby league, hockey, ice hockey, and I suppose basketball and netball game have a half time (those are all the ones I think of). I think the clue for 'half-time' should be changed to something like 'Intermission in a sports match'. Not that exactly, but that was off the cuff.
Yep. Quiz should probably specify that it's American football. In football/soccer, a central defender (near the goalkeeper) is called centre-back or centre-half.

Go figure.
