Usage
Who am I?
Can you guess my age, sex, profession, city or region of origin, or other details about me based on my English (mis)usage in this message alone? This is a new e-mail account, so don't bother searching Google for a posting history. I will divulge the fact that I am American, as is probably already evident from the AOL address.
If this is too difficult, I will write a brief paragraph on any suggested topic (except "tell us your age, sex, etc.") to provide more possible clues.
I will name a winner if and when appropriate. If the winner insists, I may even send him/her a small gift.
A major cause of deterioration in the use of the English language is very simply the enormous increase in the number of people who are using it. -Anon.

Therefore, "Guess how many jelly beans are in this jar" is incorrect, as it's missing the word "correctly"?
