It is going to be interesting to see the vote mix on this one. The range/spread of votes is likely to be high especially my interpretation!

| I'm sure this has already been said...I've seldom seen so many DNMCs...but with pretty cool pictures. There are direct, correct quotes everywhere, and a very few actual misquotes. I don't think this challenge was well addressed. Still had to give some 6s and 7s even if the "misquote" wasn't, just because the pics were good. |

This challenge isn't ending up as I thought it would. I was expecting misquotes along the lines of some of the often misunderstood/misquoted song lyrics. Like: "See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen" (real quote: See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen)
When it's just a quote where the misquote is exactly the same meaning as the original, with only a few words swapped, then why bother with the "mis" at all. You might as well just had a famous quote challenge.
I haven't voted yet. And even though it's not what I expected, I'll certainly accept the quotes with the few words swapped. But I guess I don't understand the purpose of the challenge considering the way it's been met.
It happens; that's life; it's just weird. :)

In some cases that changes the meaning or common usage of the quote. Sometimes in a subtle manner. And yes, sometimes the misquoted words don't make any real meaning changes, but it's still a misquote and if someone has a shot that suits it, then it's fine to me. Not too different to me than choosing an illustration to accompany a motivational poster. |

yup, it's fine with me, as well. It just would have been more interesting the other way around, imo. But a misquote is a misquote -- interesting or not.

I still don't understand this. I voted on all the images, and only came across a couple that I couldn't prove to be misquotes. The ones I didn't know at first glance I put into Google. For search terms I put the word misquote and then the image title in quotes. It took 2 seconds to do, and I even learned a thing or two. |

Interesting discussion here. Allow me to 'stir the pot' a bit. (hope that's not a misquote)
Is it fair to say that the concept of this challenge is at least a little "Open to interpretation?"
The original instruction was as follows: âFind a great misquote and represent it in a photograph.â
In the most literal sense, I could interpret that as 'identify someone else's misquote of some phrase, statement, etc., and depict that in a photo.'
However, if one interprets the word âFindâ as âThink of,â would it be so wrong to have THOUGHT OF and then pictorially represented a misquote as some have done?

Surely if one can "think of" or "create" a quote they can also "find it". That's so long as you write it down, crumple the paper into a ball, and throw it. Then surely you must then go find it... otherwise that would be littering! |

Do you have five images on your front page? I only see four on profiles... and I can't see where one would set this option.

Oh... apparently the number of photos displayed is one less than the value you select for "Images Per Row." That makes perfect sense! |
