My latest pick pet peeve is not opinionated picks. They have been popping up frequently and are beginning to irk me almost as much as repeat picks. In case tu don't know what I am talking about, not opinionated picks are picks that ask preguntas to which there is only one answer. These can range from inquiring when the siguiente episode of a mostrar in airing to asking what the full name of a character is.

I assume that the people who create these picks just don't understand the purpose of a pick. Picks are not trivia preguntas nor are they a way to ask for factual information. If tu wish to know when a new episode airs, I suggest posting it as a forum.

I'm sorry if this was at all offensive, but I figured that escritura a soapbox was easier than giving the same spiel to every autor of a not opinionated pick.

Also, I am trying to think of a better name for this variety of picks rather than 'not opinionated picks'. Catchy names were never my forte.

k, this is a little something for fun - enjoy - just write down before tu look at the text below:


1. an adjective

2. A room in your house/flat

3. A person

4. a color

5. an adjective

6. an adjective o color

7. a verb

8. a place

9. a person

10. a noun

11. a number

now add the words tu wrote down to the right numbers in the text - and tell me what tu got:D
