Series of Things #2

Omega should be acceptable, alpha/beta/omega is sometimes used in ethology, especially in wolves to categorise animals into one of three social types (although actual wolf experts say the idea of an 'alpha wolf' in the wild is a myth).

agree with pctjunkie - gamma correct; omega incorrect

listen here mate, you know nothing about anything ur dumb

No, but allowances are usually made for regional differences once they are pointed out, just as QM now accepts homogenized as well as whole milk, after the Canadian comments. Adding dime as an answer is a reasonable request IMO. My only issue is that it was a demand rather than a request. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar, eric29.

Well I certainly am not demanding anything, other than perhaps the courtesy of a reply to a reasonable request. I first suggested half, quarter, dime almost three years ago. Since this quiz has reappeared on the front page I thought I would try again. I am not saying that the current answer is wrong; it is obviously a correct response. I was just pointing out that to an American it is not the only correct response, and each time I have taken this quiz I always think of dime first, and only get eighth after dime doesn't work. Either way, dime is a reasonable and correct answer, is not obscure or ridiculous and is worthy of inclusion. That's all I am trying to say. If I am wrong I would like to know why; otherwise what would it hurt to add dime as an alternate answer? So Quizmaster, if my request reeked of vinegar I do apologize....and do please take my suggestion under consideration. Thank you!!
