An orchestra of crickets?

Oooh I love that!

You are right according to the interwebs

YAY! An orchestra of crickets!! There's a poem in there for sure.

 

[alk69]

ugh, dumb. It's a HERD of crickets. Or congress.

Nah, it's a flock...of big feathered crickets with beaks, claws and loud chirping...maybe it is Congress after all.

I feel like it probably says a lot about what kind of dork I am that finding out it IS in fact "an orchestra of crickets" vastly improves my day.
All the same, thanks forum!

Oh, all right. I guess it's time to get serious about these Alexandria HITs.

Well NLPCL's $20 hit from two weeks ago hasn't paid yet.

These have a qual test attached & have been sitting up all day. $12-13/hr for me w/o a script, YMMV, but it's $8 if you're hanging around the afternoon lull anyway

I never knew how much there was to complain about until these HUGC HITs. People are very colorful and creative with their negative reviews of hotels!

Nah, it's jacked. Really weirdly formatted - be a lot easier to understand if true/not true were separate questions

THANKS FOR THE TEARS, SURVEY I WON'T MENTION IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE DOES IT/ TO AVOID RUINING THE DATA.

If you preview the HIT itself first I think the example was better in there.. third tab I think...? but now I also don't remember if the test itself even had an example so who knows.

It's not too bad once you run through a few though, and tbh most of the HITs are just straightline "NO" for me since it often got the wrong word or there was no real detail around the word to answer about.

But basically I took it as: "this is a blue <ball>"

What about that ball, given the info in the sentence, is different from any other ball w/o the adjectives/descriptive words? If the list was

It's pink
It's round
It's blue
It's on the floor

The only "yes" would be to it's blue. It's not pink, so that's a no. It is round, but so is almost any other equivalent ball in existence so that's no, and it doesn't tell you where the ball is so that's no.

How I took it. YMMV.

Are you okay?
(would appreciate being PMed a requester name so I can avoid this survey, if/when you're up to it)

I just finished a discussion post for school about how English is evolving and technological influences on speech (like texting, email, IMs) and I took great satisfaction in creating this subject title for my post for a Masters level English class: Sup, fwiw irl I speak Standard English.
