In Q 10, why is "Bible" in quotes?

I dunno, shouldn't it be?

I suppose, since it's a book title, it should be in italics. Use
italics for book, magazine and newsletter titles (free-standing
publications) and names of vessels (see ships). Use quotation marks
around chapter titles or other components of an italics-titled
publication.

In Q 11, is Aerobatics a sport?

I dunno, maybe I'll change it to "synchronized swimming"

Did you perhaps mean "synchronized flying"?


Gary

According to the AP Stylebook, Bible should be capitalized but NOT in
quotes.

Aerobatics is a show of flying maneuvers, such as loops, rolls, etc. I don't
know if it's technically a sport, but it exists and the loops is a good
thing to help throw people off.

P.S. I scored 50%

This possibly-made-from-the-Mayflower barn is near Chalfont St. Giles in
Buckinghamshire. How did it get there if the ship was disassembled in
America? You have a ship. You need it to go across an ocean. Doesn't it make
sense just to sail it across, rather than take it apart and ship the pieces?

. . .and there is quite some debate about the state visit question.

Apparently Ronald Reagan WAS the official guest of the Queen, and stayed at
the palace during his visit.
I believe his invitation was indeed officially endorsed by the Royal Family.

Aside: George Bush's advance people requested that the Queen wear an ID
badge while W. was in the house.
