I have to hand it to them; they got you real good here.

Damn

Wrecked

is the argument whether it's not a synonym, or whether it can carry "of"?

Fun to know that Jeopardy is just as dunk-brained as the rest of the liberal establishment

Ken is a messy bitch

Why do they need to tell you how many letters are in "compose"? You can count them if you care for some reason.

I'd say "prepare for Titanfall" but we're already past that point and the crater is massive

Compose has 7 letters, that checks out

That's not even how you spell "patent attorneys"!

Are you familiar with the guy on Wikipedia who dedicates all his time there to changing any instance of "comprised of"?

dril?

What can men do against such reckless ownage?

i am an unapologetic pedant and i will not stop until i am dead

this was a jennings question, you can tell bc of the contempt for this audience

What is compost.

Outrageous and UNACCEPTABLE! Next they’ll start using dangling participles

"What is c(r)omulent?"

it's beautiful tho that in order to answer this in the jeopardy format you'd have to use the verb in its pedantic form

I'm sorry but I looked it up and this is a level of pedantry not even I am getting behind

I am fucking dying.

are the folks five houses down from you not still your neighbors?

this is so fucking funny

“I got wrecked by Jeopardy” would be on my headstone.

IT'S BACK @brandon.insertcredit.com. Also: @carolynmichelle.bsky.social would appreciate this.

Usually "pedantic" is what they cry when they are annoyed you are more learned and precise with language than them. An archipelago *comprises* a bunch of atolls, what was so fucking hard about that?

you have been called a pedant by Jeopardy, it’s officially over

To be fair, I would, and have, used both of these words, and thus comprise incorrectly. At least my excuse is me being a secondary speaker.

Holy fuck lmfao

He laid you out on main

This murder happened 2026 on an episode of Jeopardy over a Bluesky post

Teaching the controversy ass

Jennings with the tactical nuke

I think you legally have to change your name on here to “pedant” now

I would walk into the ocean over this, but then I think about that post about how one should walk backwards into hell flipping off everyone. So maybe that? Either way, my goodness.

Jesus Christ man. You're gonna need a doctor to pull that out and our healthcare situation is fucked so it's gonna be there a minute.

E.B. White screaming in his grave

among the best I have seen

They got me good

oh my god I hate it. I made sure I understood the difference, and then I kept seeing my damn US-born classmates in *grad school* using them interchangeably.

I would never say my English is native-level because have you *seen* the grammar mistakes of native speakers?

a) you're completely correct and there's nothing wrong with being a pedant b)jesus christ you're so burned

Holy shit

But... comprise and compose aren't neighbors. Compose's neighbors are comport and compost. And, comport can be used as a synonym for compose.
