It seems you've answered your own question, unless you wish for clarification on the answer you have posted.

Mine is like that too.. he will claim I heard wrong when I show him the real answer and change his answer to the real thing. Drives me up a wall.

It depends entirely on which test you took.  Some only count right answers, some deduct a set percentage for wrong answers.  It really depends on the test.

You are alive, but your weirdness is THINKING that you are asking a question that makes sense, when in fact, you are asking a question that makes NO SENSE.

Often, especially in "Society & Culture", the person isn't really asking a question.  They are going to pick whoever agrees with their pre-determined answer.  So even when your answer is actually "best", it doesn't get picked.  Sometimes upsetting, though, I agree.  If it is a really ridiculous case, I'll usually leave a comment.

You are right, because, in the end... you are the one that makes the choice and distinguishes right and wrong.. all the people answering the question only state their opinions, you take in the answer as as true or false. :) Take Care

If an asker looks at the answers and decides one fits what they are looking for, it's his or her choice to make it the best answer.  It is not relevant that you might want to post some sort of rebuttal to other answers there.  If it hurts your feelings that your viewpoint isn't represented, that's just on this side of "too bad".

Don't worry yourself about any one getting upset over whose answer that  you choose as the best answer.  After all the choice is yours and not theirs.  When i answer a question i don't even think about who is going to be chosen.

If I honestly think that I have given the best answer, then I do. I admit it. I have often voted for others' answers though.

You could spend too much time on YA answers.

Nothing. I'm first, pick me! Please! The person ahead of me did it while I was editing my answer.
