Good category, though I would have added “Name a fractured proverb” To come up with my favorite: [i\]You can lead a whore to culture, but you can’t make her think*

I think you mean “horticulture.”

My favorite is “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him a drink.”

Are these really proverbs? Or more like cliches?

[Ellen_Cherry]

You know, I never read all the instructions for fear of reading someone’s responses and thus … cheating! However inadvertently. So, I didn’t look up the correct wording, and I now see that cliches, etc., are what “proverbs” means here. Duh. I’m not a very good little girl when it comes to doing what I’m told!

[Rebo]

How do you read the questions without “cheating?” Just curious.

What I mean is, maybe others have the same problem and what can I do to improve the instructions side of things?
