the xeric coupling between jack and ennis their first night in the tent was shocking to many viewers.

(oops, sorry about the xylophone  :-\   i have made changes as per fran's suggestion...)


=compliment=
 A very impressive first post, Knash, a zillion times better than the one I suggested. Welcome to the ABCs game. We're glad you're here.

When did the rule change from "Please stop putting quotation marks around the letters, it is unnecessary" to people putting quotation marks around the letters?  I just noticed....


=clarification= "Game Letter" (in quotes)
That's an interesting and curious question!  It, e.g., "A" is..., was initially done at the original "ABCs of BBM" at IMDB.  When did the "rule" change?  Answer: Never!  We never had a "rule" to put or not to put quote marks on the capitalized "game letter".  It was never mentioned!  Our rulez and guidelinez are accessible in the "OP" of this "ABCs" file.  Quoting the "game letter" is a tradition that many Playerz adopt.  Putting quote marks around the subject "game letter", such as "C" is clown, also nicely sets off the "game letter" from the answer.  If anyone said not to do it, I'd queery that person.  Since it's been mentioned, I observe that the majority of the "ABCs" Playerz actually do quote mark the "game letter". 

"W" is Will!

As a youngster, Ennis saw a sight that scarred him for life.

(I have never used the word 'youngster' before, and doubt I will again, but what we do our game!)
