not at all. Grammar is pretty important even if it was on an Amphibians and Reptiles test.Celeste wrote:There were two grammar errors in the state test for herpetology in Nebraska. (They used an apostrophe s for plural. ugh.) We had some extra time at the end, so I crossed it out and wrote in what it should have said. Do you think that I might have gotten points off for being an obnoxious grammar nazi like that?

Re: Amphibians and Reptiles
Strath haven here. For nats, probably Sewickley and Bala.
For this event, I dunno, but I'd look at Sewickley, Shady Side, and Bala for the better teams in the state.

Re: Amphibians and Reptiles
I agree on the grammer thing _ those procters are really picky on what you put on the test...and I dont know about you...but our procters are infamous for throwing unexpected curveball tiebreakers... 

MWAHAHAHAHA I'm taking over the world one cheesy snack at a time and there's nothing anybody can do to stop me!!!

Re: Amphibians and Reptiles
I'm unsure if it is against the rules to staple a few pages from another guide into my field guide. Any thoughts?

Re: Amphibians and Reptiles
That would probably be considered against the rules. You could copy down the info onto a post it though.

Re: Amphibians and Reptiles
