THE 300 CHALLENGE

[Populus Romanus]

This would be more fun if:



You struck this rule. I doubt you'll get many posts otherwise.

That is what makes it hard though. One person will contribute 299 correct ones, then the person after them will use the same 299 + 1 other one and win.

No one has such a small amount of work to find 300 correct things about 300.

Maybe, one proposal per each person.

When one says "on" the ocean, it is commonly accepted that the intention is to state that the location is close to the ocean. English grammar prevails!
