not at all. Grammar is pretty important even if it was on an Amphibians and Reptiles test.
Nerds rule. Nerds are awesome. Nerds will someday (soon) rule the world. And you know it.

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.

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... :ugeek:

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

That would probably be considered against the rules. You could copy down the info onto a post it though.
