I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who noticed this today. XD

..Oh hey. They changed it to "cinco." The original prompt had "Cinqo." Curious they left the question up but changed the subject line. I guess they realized there was no way to hide the fact now.

No kidding.

Well, if anything, Happy Children's Day. :D

Yeah, this was a major WTF moment on my end. "Independence day"? Really? XD

[identity profile] dominochan.livejournal.com 2010-05-05 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, man... if they had spelled it "Cinq", that would have caused some issues. Since Cinco de Mayo was a victoly over the French.

Indeed, indeed. On that note, one of the earlier responses to this (back when it was still Cinqo) made me chuckle:

"DEAR STUPID WORLD: CINCO DE MAYO IS NOT MEXICO'S INDEPENDENCE DAY. I BET SOME FRENCH JERK TOLD YOU SO."

I theorize this entire writer's block is an elaborate French conspiracy.

Man, that was my first thought, too. 8[ Good job, el jay.

I feel dirty clicking on that. XD

[identity profile] dominochan.livejournal.com 2010-05-06 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
All because they couldn't do simple research. :|

(Insert some manner of dirty frenchman joke here, at your leisure.)

You think this might be a conspiracy too?

[identity profile] dominochan.livejournal.com 2010-05-06 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
THEY WILL TAKE OVER WITH BAGUETTES!

...actually a baguette sounds good right about now.

You could kill a man with a week old baguette.

good old blunt force trauma to the head. My favorite kind.

I saw this earlier and got iritated. I was waiting for you to notice. :)
