how people type on …
how people type on youtube doesnt prove their understanding for the english language, dumbass. you want to write an essay in MLA form, go for it, i choose shorthand so i can deal with idiots like you faster. the fact of the matter is, i know it was a monday nyt puzzle, therefore being A LOT easier, but the other point is, if you actually watch him do it, he turns it over and IMMEDIATLY starts writing. really? a little farfetched if you ask me but w/e. you dont know the truth anymore than i do.

Haha… you are comparing a Monday NYT puzzle with a puzzle in the ACPT finals! Then again, you also said “str8 up,” so I don’t know why I would expect you to understand why there is a difference.

Wikipedia “Owned”. It was a term formed in online video games, it basically means when someone totally destroys the competition. “Pwned” is just another variation created by Elite Aka “L33t” (an online way of speaking in code, using symbols, numbers and also just incorrectly spelling words to make it look cool).

Haydn was one of …
Haydn was one of the three composers (Mozart and Beethoven being the other two) who were part of the so-called First Viennese School. He also spent the large majority of his life in an estate owned by the Esterhazy family about 30 miles from Vienna….thus Viennese Haydn. That’s how I read it at least.
