Wow. This is very poorly worded.

I don't know why the syntax of this specific answer is being singled out. Many answers in this game aren't written perfectly, which I suspect is a consequence of the game developers trying to give us so much accurate background information on each question.
While it may not make the Grammar Nazis happy, the important thing is that it CAN be understood. In any case, I appreciate the time its author spent sharing the information, perfectly written or not.

Close your eyes...take a breath...and tell yourself, "it's just a game"!!!

one key fact that was omitted is that he shot down 21 planes and 4 balloons.

Montana Lady, Do you ever say anything in ten words or less?
Player #118357
Player #185561, OK then, what does "more of a foolhardy" mean? It's informative but poorly worded.
Robobopper
This tells us nothing about him, and would get a failing grade on a primary school history assignment. Might get a D in English, so you have that going for you.

Montana Lady, I am not a grammar Nazi. However, running their detailed information by a fellow writer or better an editor, would help their game appear even more professional.

HyperViper5789, Argumentative thing aren't you?? Bad diction's bad diction and should be proofread more carefully when appearing in a game available worldwide.

Snoopy thought so too !

toadicusrex, it's the wording of the question that I object to. "Highest-scoring" makes war sound like a game. which is obscene.

Montana Lady, The quiz questions are created by players like you and I in a companion app called Quiz Creator. So, as with the questions I submitted, I supply most of the the explanation from my own knowledge. I am happy to say that my grammar skills are good, so that won't be a problem. Other contributors may lack polish in their grammar skills.

Nation heros had to survive murder and two world wars? What is the explanation for surviving a murder... 😂😂😂 and what does that look like? Anyone...?

Apparently the commentors that are criticizing the "developers" of this app, don't realize that the questions, answers and explanations are submitted by other players. For example this was submitted by "noahjoew".

Rickenbacker also survived 24 days in the pacific ocean, adrift in a life raft, after a B-17 in which he was a passenger, ran out of gas and ditched.

A simple straightforward history question.

Wow! Is this a fun game and a contest to belittle people in the comments?
Player #14714764
No proofreading required?

Lenny the Clam, Great grammar; er, until the "man oh man".

bigkenparrish, I also happen to love history and got this question correct.
Player #11503902
Player #118357, Foolhardy is a real word, which basically means he made dangerous choices.

i thought it was Bong (a name I learned from this game). Anyway, Rickenbacker was amazing... he survived murder!
Player BirchTree
bigkenparrish, There was a movie about him. I remember it.

More knowledge to reduce my ignorance.

WalkinDoom, While you are criticizing Player #185561's comment, you should mind your own spelling - "you're" in your comment should be "your"
