Ah, but I don't want anyone to be *eliminated*.  I hate games where you 
don't get to play anymore if you're not good enough.  Too much like high 
school.  When you reach a level that is a real challenge for you, you can 
stay there, and stay in the game.  Perhaps you shouldn't lose letters for 
messing up: perhaps instead those who accept the challenge should lose a 
letter each time they produce a grammatical sentence that adequately 
describes the flashcard.  For many people the entire vocabulary is 
challenge enough.

IN THIS.  THOUGH I MUST AGREE WITH DloraH I BELIEVE I
WOULD BE ELIMINATED PRETTY QUICKLY, ALSO.
