_ **READ THIS!!!** _ **Write your answers like this** ; no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no chatter, no fancy list coding (I’m looking at you, **want2know**!)-- If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks. JUST LIKE THIS: **1. answer 2. response 3. rejoinder** 50 entrants or Wednesday, May 14 by 5:00 pm. Good luck!
