A lot of the "what do you call x" questions irked me. Like the easy course one. I don't know ANY of the options, but I have to pick one?

Here's an oddity...when I little and before I got ridiculed for saying it, I always called a water fountain (one of the possibles on the test) a "bubbler". Apparently no one says that outside of small sections of New England and Wisconsin/Michigan (where my parents are from). Wonder how having that option on the quiz woulda skewed my results.
