Talk:quiz

There are several different words "quiz" which have different etymologies which is where the problem could come from --Imran 21:08 Dec 16, 2002 (UTC)

I think the so-called unofficial 'kwis' in the Dutch translation doesn't belong here. Since the changed spelling of 1995 'kwis' is wrong; it is not Dutch. This spelling is not mentioned in the van Dale dictionary, nor in the "Groene Boekje". If we start doing this, we might as well include every possible spelling mistake. Maybe (but I still have my doubts) it could be mentioned in an article called Wiktionary:List of common misspellings (Dutch). D.D. 21:43 Dec 16, 2002 (UTC)

Internet surveys

Now often used on the Internet for ego surveys ("What colour suits your personality?" etc.), e.g. on the site Quizilla (but not only there). This is distinct from the traditional kind of quiz that has right and wrong answers and involves skill. 86.131.89.40 10:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Etymology

Tréguer, Pascal's one (a Latinate joke) sounds convincing.
