The anglicized answer was correct, without the macron, but the more formal spelling wasn't. For your answer engine, you could accept any equivalent ascii characters, so macrons, umlauts, etc.Unwise Bardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603455084545858685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-65449170417307716472017-09-09T08:03:45.186-07:002017-09-09T08:03:45.186-07:00Interesting.

There's no quick heuristic to give you other than "try a bunch of variations" and check the "show first letter" -- that will give you a guide.

Without spoiling the answer to one of today's questions (What was the birth name of the Renaissance man responsible for the “ornithopter?”), I had a "wrong" answer, as wikipedia (among a bunch of other more respectable sites) lists a "full" birth name for that person that all agree, and it didn't like that answer. <br /><br />Are there any rules that we should be aware of, such as "all answers are 1 word"?Unwise Bardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603455084545858685noreply@blogger.com
