Poll Results 130

Here was the question:

Which is correct?

Let's hang here awhile.
1 (1%)
Your paycheck barely covers the bills.
5 (6%)
Put on your name tag.
4 (4%)
She went into a tail spin.
3 (3%)
Her hair was in a ponytail.
5 (6%)
None of the answers.
4 (4%)
More than one answer.
60 (73%)

Congrats to 73%. Only "tail spin" is incorrect. It should be "tailspin."

I would also like to say that I'm a doo-fus. Wait a minute. That should be "doofus." In my original explanation, I failed to note that "awhile" is a valid adverb and an alternate spelling of "nametag" is "name tag."
Sorry if there was any confusion.
