There’s no better place to relax than in the grass…This is me with SCA people and pirate facepaint. Yar!
Hiya everyone. Today was the last day of school for me, so yippee! Junior year was hard, and now it’s done…
And now, like I said in the last post, I’m taking off. In exactly seven hours, I’ll be on a flight to Mobile, Albama. I’m going to be gone for two whole months, completely cut off from the Internet (read: Quizlet). Some hard manual labor will be a nice and healthy getaway from computer programming.
So now, some administrative stuff. As I will obviously be unable to answer support requests or add new features, don’t expect a lot of new things on Quizlet for a little while. I’m passing off the Quizlet reigns to Neil, a good friend of mine who knows Quizlet better than anyone (except for me). He’s been very gracious to take over support and general administration of the site while I’m gone. I’ll be returning around the 13th of August (with pictures for the blog, of course :))
Oh, and has anyone seen the stats on the About page recently? Quizlet has just passed one million terms entered into Quizlet. Good work, and thanks for using Quizlet!
Quizlet ftw! Have a good vacation dude, you earned it.
SWEET!!! 1,000,000 terms!!! nice, people! and have a good vacation!!!
It’s awsome that ur going away… but when i complain about something ur not the one who gets mad at me… it will be this Neil charecter…

that is cool! 1,000,000 terms. sweet!
hav fun on vacation. im going away soon 2. tho im only goig 2 ny 4 about a month.
hey yeah idk who u are but cool story and have fun =)
Lol…I’m going to Alaska at the end of July, but that won’t be for a while…yeah have fun on vacation everyone
wat a bunch of lazy buggers!!!
I really anticipate an option of adding example sentences to the terms. The definition itself is not sufficient for good learning process. We learn through examples much faster.
I use this all way from Vatican City! Sorry my english, I tack Italean!
marat - if you put an example sentence in parentheses after the term, you’ll be able to read it when it shows the definition but you won’t have to type it in to get the word right.
Have a great time mate

Thanks, I’ll try it.
2 Lani,
What you recommended didn’t work. I put the example phrase in parentheses () after the term both with the space and without the one - in both cases I got error message when learning, saying that the answer was incomplete.
Or maybe I misunderstood something.
Marat, there’s also a checkbox which specifies whether items in parentheses should be ignored or not. Maybe check/uncheck this?
see you later
2tomasdore
Yes, it worked
Now I can say that Quizlet is 100% suitable for me. Well, as for me it’s a rare occasion when a piece of software ideally satisfies my needs, but Quizlet is a pleasant exception. Thanks to Andrew for making us all happy 
Anonymous above is me. Just forgot to enter my name.
yeah! ditto to everything (u know, like, good stuff) and yeah have a good time and everything… 1,000,000 terms??!! AWESOME
Man, I forgot my password to my account (runaway-man) and now I can’t get on.
And I’m the creator of a group that my entire grade is counting on!
Worse, the email account. that I used was deleted for some reason. “longswordandshield@hotmail.com”
I just got back in school too. Well, I hope you had a good vacation.
runaway-man: I just got back. It was great…I’ll be posting about it soon.
Send me an email at (myname)@quizlet.com - replace (myname) with andrew. I’ll help you get back your account.
OK, I will. Thanks for the help!
Have you received my Email?
Just sent you a response
LAWL alabama rocks, how was it?
School starts for me in 2 weeks. I’m always excited for the first day
Andrew, no pressure or anything but are you almost done with the Quizlet boards? I can’t wait for that feature!
Andrew, it would be great if we could mark the sets as “done”. When there are too many of them I’m really getting frustrated trying to choose which one to learn.
Yes Alabama does rock, doesn’t it Davis
Also I have a couple of ideas for Quizlet:
1) Create a way to implement pictures into the basic flashcard. Just a form that lets HTML be formated into the definition/term would be great
One side would still be text.
2) Also, it would be great if there was a better organisation method than just by subject. Marked, files, active sets, etc.
Also, it would be awesome if there was an option for group/set creators to turn the chat on and off.
Some guys are chatting during study hall and if I don’t do something about it the teachers are going to ban Quizlet at school
(we all have laptops, and they have a thing called websence)
Wow! Now not only is they’re advertising on quizlet, but now we’re gettting the spam advertising that I normaly only see on much larger sites.
And yes, Wii is awesome. But theres no need to advertise it on a website about learning.
It was just on this blog, so don’t worry about it. I deleted it. There’s no spam on Quizlet.com, to my knowledge.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I noticed that when you are doing the learn mode, and you edit a word, it will switch the term and the definition.
So if you are trying to enter the french, you have to enter the English for the word that you edited.
Hey! Congrats by the way… but when are you comming back? It’s been months…
fdh
i wish i could leave
but, of course not!!!!!!
have a good trip…and like it says u rlly do deserve a vacation…anyway 1,000,000 terms that is a hell of a lot
