Incorrect competition answer!!
Without wishing to upset anybody, after having undertaken some of my own reserach I have discovered that your answer to the competition is wrong.
I have searched through the budget speech and counted the words accordingly. Here follows my reults:
"confidence": 0 times
"growth": 23 times
"business": 18 times
This clearly totals 41 mentions of the specified words, not 35.
Additionally, I understood that the word "businesses" in the plural should be included in this count as it includes the word "business". This appears a further 19 times, aggregating 60 mentions of the chosen words.
Please check again!
Only the singular of business was included
Thank you for your post.
The three words included in quotes on the original entry page were the only ones that were counted. As Nicholas Parsons would tell you on 'Just a Minute', "business" and "businesses" are not the same word. I have asked my colleagues to review the overall count and will report back when they have done so.
Well done First tab
See it does pay to post a question every 3 minutes.
