You're wrong. Great Britain is the island. That's why the country's name is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"...

I'm sorry, but that is incorrect. Great Britain is most certainly an island - the largest in the United Kingdom. Out of curiosity, with the landmass made up of England, Wales and Scotland isn't called Great Britain, what would you call it?

My name gets misspelled 80% (i think it is more 95% but lets stay on the cautious side of things). I ve stopped correcting them, unless it is pasport related. But many things like electricitycompany use the wrong name (even when I ve given my information on paper, not just verbally)

Err nope. I know you are joking (well let's hope). But how would they know? Besides the obvious it is my name so it is the correct way to write my name. It is not like it is named after a profession or known words like that. (Or a version from another language like schmidt smid smith etc).

That is like saying of a(n alien) language that does not have any languages related to them that a word is spelled wrong. It is the only existing word so it can't be wrong.

I was joking, and I sympathise - my surname contains 3 sounds that don't exist where I live. It's pronounced like 'circle' but with a 'th' sound at the beginning, but I'm yet to meet a Peruvian who can pronounce it, let alone spell it. Including my wife...

If he weren't dead, I would have suggested you ask Gaddafi --- wait, I mean Qaddafi... or rather Gathafi, or Kadafi... that is to say Gadafy --- how to spell his name. Don't let yourself get so caught up in the rules of language that you fail to hear what's actually being said.

Actually, the tyre company Michelin created the cooking guide to encourage french people to go on the roads visiting those recommended restaurants, and using their cars and tyres. So the two are connected and don't happen to have the same name. "What tyre company has created a restaurants guide" may be a better way to ask this one.

St Patrick was born in Wales which is a country in it's own right and is most certainly not an island since it is not completely surrounded by water. The Hawaii question is very misleading, it may have been an independent country at the time but everyone knows it as a US state

The Hawaii question was perfectly clear. There are questions on this site everywhere that refer to things that aren't true any longer, and this one is no different. It asks for the "last monarch" which suggests either a country that has dropped it's monarchy and/or it is no longer a country. And based on the name, it's quite clear that it's Polynesian in nature.

It's not known exactly where St Patrick was born, with locations in modern-day England, Wales and Scotland all being possible. However, all of these possible locations are on Great Britain, which is the island that contains almost all of England and Wales and most of Scotland.

I suspect that Wales and Hawaii have something in common: they can both be described as countries, but are both next level local authorities in a bigger country. Wales is not a country in its own right.

Haiti and DR are countries not completely surrounded by water, yet both are on the island of Hispaniola. Timor-Leste is a country located on the island of Timor. Brunei is located on the island of Borneo. Whether or not Wales is a country has nothing to do with the question. It's still located on the island of Great Britain, along with England and Scotland.

"Marathon" presumably didn't count because the answer is car racing, specifically Formula One. It also won't accept baseball, ice hockey, gymnastics, or archery, because the listed movies aren't about them either.

And no, Hawaii isn't a country anymore, which is why the last monarch was... well, the last monarch.

China famously also had a civil war in the 30s (though it started in the 20s and ended in the 40s), I think you should accept that as an answer. And according to Wikipedia a series of skirmishes between fascists and socialists in Austria in 1934 is sometimes referred to as the Austrian Civil War, and the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932 is also known as the Brazilian Civil War.

Pretty volatile decade, the thirties!

Fairy Ring is also a common term for a grass ring on a well kept area (ballfields). The grass gets infected and a circular ring turns heavy green and the grass inside dies because the ring sucks out all the nutrients.
